My Math Teacher told me if i answer this question i get +15 points on the next test.

ITS A RIDDLE! A MATH ONE!

READ EVERYTHING FIRST!

A Theif Went To The Farm to Steel some oranges.
When he finished picking oranges he saw 5 Guards.
Every Guard told him if you give me half of what you got and and take away one.
When he Got home he opened his Bag and he had 2 oranges.
So he stole oranges and everybody guard told him if you wanna pass give me half of what you got takeaway 1 ( Example: 100 half of that is 50 minus 1 so the theif gets 49 and the guard gets 51 so do that 5 times... he got away with 2 oranges dont forget


Technicly he stold oranges and passed 5 guards every guard told him if you want 2 pass us you will have to give us have of the oranges you got and 1 more for me. and he ended up with 2 oranges after he passed all guards.
Question is:
Howmuch oranges did he steal that he ended up with 2 oranges after he passed all the guards?
