13 pirates decide to split the spoils of their conquests - their gold would have been split equally but for a shortage of five coins. Bluebeard shoots one, and one more dies of fear. The rest make haste to split the gold but grumble on how to split the three coins that remain. BB thinks that shooting three should solve the problem - however, there is still an excess of five coins that prevents equal splitting among the pirates;
Question is - how many coins are the pirates fighting for?
