How can there be a bag 11, or even a 13? Don't the puts get put back in the same bag they were taken from? Was I misunderstood in reading the first post? Ten bags, labeled 1-10, right?

Just wondering. Maybe I need to see it for it to make sense. Won't be long now.
It started with 5 bags, each with two cigars. The first person took a bag 1 through 5 as his take. His puts, two cigars, became bag 6. If he took bag 2, the pass would now have bags 1,3,4,5, and now 6, his puts. The next person would take one bag and his puts would become bag 7, etc...

Hope that helps.
