I made an error...cheeky

 

1st round          1 - 1/3 = 2/3 (left)

 

2nd round         [(2/3) / 5] * 2 = 4/15 (left)

 

3rd round           [(4/15) / 7] * 3 = 12 / 105 (left) smiley

after round one he has 1-1/3 = 2/3 left

 

after second round he has  2/3 -  3/5*2/3 = 2/3(1-3/5) = 2/3*  2/5 =  4/15

 

So what does he have after the next round?
