Granny shares a packet of sweets between her four granddaughters. The girls, Clarrie, Lizzie, Annie and Danni, always in that order, each take 8 sweets in turn, over and over again until, finally, there are some sweets left for Danni, but there are fewer than 8. Danni takes all the sweets that are left. The other three girls then give Danni some of their sweets so that all four girls have the same number of sweets. How many sweets does each of the other three granddaughters give to Danni?
