There are 25 cans, each initially containing an equal even number of marbles. From the 1st can, 1/4th of the marbles are taken and mixed into the 2nd can. Then, 1/4th of the total marbles now in the 2nd can are mixed into the 3rd can. This process continues until 1/4th of the marbles from the 24th can are mixed into the 25th can. If, at the end of the process, only the 24th and 25th cans contain an odd number of marbles, what could be the minimum number of marbles present in each can initially?
