suppose man pick up x flowers.
He gives half flowers he had to guard and guard in return gives 1 flower to man.
so,
after 1st door remained flowers towards guard=(x/2)+1
i.e(x+2)/2

after 2nd door remained flowers towards guard=[(x+2)/4]+1

after 3rd door remained flowers towards guard=[(x+6)/8]+1
i.e.(x+14)/8
at the end he is left with same number of flowers he has picked.
so(x+14)/8=x
8x-x=14
x=2
Hence he should pick up 2 flowers.

Wine Left Formula: Pt=Pi((a-b)/a)^n

x=x((x-x/2)/x)^3
x=x(x/2)^3
8=x^3
x=2
