One evening, Papa baked a large batch of pastries for her family, which consisted of Mama and their three children: Ed, Lisa, and Judy. During the night, Mama got up and ate 1/3 of the pastries. She then (separate from the 1/3) gave one pastry to the family dog, Spike. The oldest son, Ed was the next to get up. He planned to eat 1/4 of the pastries, but when he separated them into 4 piles, he saw there were 3 pastries left over. He decided to feed those 3 pastries to Spike. Ed then ate the original planned 1/4 of the pastries. Lisa awoke next and gobbled down 1/3 of the remaining pastries. Before going back to bed, Lisa gave 2 pastries to Spike. The last family member to awaken and visit the kitchen was young Judy. She ate 8 pastries and then gave 1/8 of what was left to Spike. The next morning Papa noticed there were only 14 pastries left! She ate 2, gave 2 to Spike, and then split the remaining pastries evenly for her whole family, (5 people in all: Mama, Papa, Ed, Lisa, and Judy) to have for breakfast. How many total pastries did Papa bake originally?_____________________
