“You hid from the Beast and followed your string back to where you made the mistake”

Answer: 13 – Each person eats one more than the previous person until the twelfth. If number 13 ate 13 chocolates then there would not be enough left for another person so the 13^th person finishes all 22 left.

In the table below the first row gives the number of each person, the second row the number of chocolates they eat, and the third row the total number eaten.
