A team of mowers needed to mow two meadows - one twice the size of the other. They spent half a day mowing the larger meadow. After noon, the team split in half: the first half remained to finish mowing the larger meadow by evening, and the second half mowed the smaller meadow, where by the evening a section still remained that was mowed the next day by one mower working a whole day. How many mowers were in the team?
