Three men possess a pile of money. One man owns 1/2 of the pile, another one owns 1/3 and the third man owns 1/6 of the pile. Each man takes some money from the pile, until nothing is left. But then the first man returns 1/2 of what he took, the second man returns 1/3 of what he took, and the third man returns 1/6 of what he took. If the returned total is divided evenly among the men, it is found that each then has what he is entitled to. How much money was in the original pile, and how much money did each man take?
