Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

### Instruction:
Three siblings, Laura, Mike, and Jenny, live together in an apartment. Laura has a secret stash of candy hidden in a drawer under her bed. One day, while Laura is at work, Mike discovers the stash and takes half of the candies. Later, Jenny also finds the stash and takes half of the remaining candies. When Laura comes home and checks her stash, how much candy does she have left? Who does she suspect took her candy? Provide a brief response.

### Response:

Laura starts with an unknown amount of candy in her stash. When Mike discovers the candy, he takes half of it, leaving half of the original amount in the drawer. When Jenny finds the stash later, she also takes half of what remains after Mike's actions. This means Jenny takes a quarter of the original stash, because she's taking half of the half that was left by Mike. Therefore, after both Mike and Jenny have taken their shares, Laura is left with a quarter of her original stash.

If Laura knows that Mike and Jenny were the only ones in the apartment while she was gone, she may suspect that one or both of them took the candy. Depending on how much candy is missing, she could potentially deduce that two people were involved, if she notices that around three-quarters of her stash is missing. If she finds that only half is missing, she may erroneously think that only one sibling has discovered her stash. Ultimately, her suspicion would be guided by the amount missing and her knowledge of her siblings' behaviors or past actions. Without additional information about what Laura knows or notices upon her return, it's hard to determine exactly who she suspects.
