Two amoebas are placed in a puddle one day, and on that same day, each amoeba splits into three amoebas. The next day, each new amoeba splits into three new amoebas, and so on, so that each day every living amoeba splits into three new amoebas. After five days, how many amoebas are in the puddle? (Assume the puddle has no amoebas before the two initial ones are placed in the puddle.)
