Five brothers - Jure, Klemen, Luka, Miha and Nace - bought a bar of chocolate. When they unwrapped it, they found that it had snapped into the seven pieces shown below, so they shared those seven pieces out among themselves. Jure ate the largest piece. Klemen and Luka ate equal amounts of chocolate, but Klemen's share was three pieces and Luka's was one. Miha ate exactly one seventh of the whole bar. Everything that was left went to Nace. Which of the numbered pieces did Nace eat?
