Find the number of times the first bells will toll up to the time when three bells toll together again
---
The next time they toll together is the LCM of the 3 times.
- 32*81 = 2592 seconds
---
2592/96 = 27 tolls
2592/162= 16 tolls
2592/72 = 36 tolls
--------
Add those.
Not clear which of the tolls are counted. If it's the "start" but not the last one, subtract 3.
