A monk has a very
specific ritual for climbing up the steps to the temple. First he climbs up to
the middle step and meditates for 1 minute. Then he climbs up 8 steps and faces
east until he hears a bird singing. Then he walks down 12 steps and picks up a
pebble. He takes one step up and tosses the pebble over his left shoulder. Now,
he walks up the remaining steps three at a time, which only takes him 9 paces.
How many steps are there?
