Question 1189191: Rex is a carnivorous dinosaur who lives on an island that is also inhabited by people. He eats one fourth of the people on his island on Monday, 13 of them on Tuesday, and half as many as he ate on Monday on Wednesday. If there are 22 people left on the island on Thursday, and nobody came to the island or left in a way other than being eaten in that time period, how many people were on the island before Rex's rampage?
