 Central Park originally had 8 more than half of the number of trash cans as in Veteran's Park, and Liberty Park had twice the number of trash cans as in Central Park. One night, someone took half of the trash cans from Central Park and put 1/3 of them in Veteran's Park and the remaining 2/3 in Liberty Park. Then, they took 1/4 of the original trash cans from Liberty Park and put them in Veteran's Park. If there were originally 24 trash cans in Veteran's Park, how many trash cans are now in Veteran's Park after the exchange? Show your work in <think> </think> tags.
