Consider the following method: 

    public void mystery(int n) {
        if (n > 100)
            System.out.print(n);
        else {
            mystery(2 * n);
            System.out.print(", " + n);
        }
    }

For each call below, indicate what output is produced:

mystery(113)
mystery(70)
mystery(42)
mystery(30)
mystery(10)
