X Y Z
after sharing Z/3 Z/3 Z/3
AFTER 4 SHOTS Z/3-4 Z/3-4 Z/3-4

3(Z/3-4)=Z/3
Z/3-4=Z/9
Z/3-Z/9=4
(3Z-Z)/9=4
2Z=36 Z=18ANS.

Total cartridges they shared = 18
Let us assume, third person has 'x' cartridges. He divides his cartridges equally.
Therefore now each has 'x/3' no. of cartridges.
After 4 shots of each person means : 'x/3 - 4' no. of cartridges is remaining to each of the persons.
Next it is said total cartridges remaining are equal to what each had initially after sharing.
Hence, (x/3-4)+(x/3-4)+(x/3-4) = x/3
x=18
