A computer solved several problems in succession. The time it took to solve each successive problem was the same number of times smaller than the time it took to solve the preceding problem. How many problems were suggested to the computer if it spent 63.5 min to solve all the problems except for the first, 127 min to solve all the problems except for the last one, and 31.5 min to solve all the problems except for the first two?
