Squirrels $A$, $B$, and $C$ have several pine cones in total. Initially, squirrel $A$ has 26 pine cones, and it takes 10 pine cones to evenly divide between $B$ and $C$. Then, squirrel $B$ takes 18 pine cones and evenly divides them between $A$ and $C$. Finally, squirrel $C$ divides half of its current pine cones evenly between $A$ and $B$. At this point, all three squirrels have the same number of pine cones. How many pine cones did squirrel $C$ originally have?
