Each day the total number of fruits goes down by one.
\n" ); document.write( "One day, there will just be two fruits to pick, and the gardener will pich the last pair of fruits as a single fruit will appear.
\n" ); document.write( "The next day, there will be just one fruit, and the gardener will pick just one fruit: the last fruit.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "At the start there is an odd number of bananas: $\"25\"$ bananas.
\n" ); document.write( "Any day that there is an odd number of bananas,
\n" ); document.write( "if the gardener picks only one banana,
\n" ); document.write( "he is picking two of different fruits,
\n" ); document.write( "and a new a banana appears,
\n" ); document.write( "so the next day the number of bananas is the same odd number.
\n" ); document.write( "Any day that there is an odd number of bananas,
\n" ); document.write( "if the gardener picks two bananas,
\n" ); document.write( "he is picking two of the same fruits,
\n" ); document.write( "and an orange appears,
\n" ); document.write( "so the next day, the number of bananas is $\"2\"$ less, but still an odd number.
\n" ); document.write( "Every day there is an odd number of bananas.
\n" ); document.write( "The last day, when there is only one fruit,
\n" ); document.write( "there is also an odd number of bananas: just $\"1\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "The last fruit picked up ias a $\"highlight%28banana%29\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
