conversations.value: The mother kept 27 x 1/3 = 9 pieces of sweets.
  So there were 27 - 9 = 18 sweets that were divided between the 3 children.
  The youngest child got 8/2 = 4 sweets.
  So the eldest and the youngest got a total of 8 + 4 = 12 sweets.
  Therefore, the second child gets 18 - 12 = 6 sweets.
