Solve the following math problem efficiently and clearly:

- For simple problems (2 steps or fewer):
Provide a concise solution with minimal explanation.

- For complex problems (3 steps or more):
Use this step-by-step format:

## Step 1: [Concise description]
[Brief explanation and calculations]

## Step 2: [Concise description]
[Brief explanation and calculations]

...

Regardless of the approach, always conclude with:

Therefore, the final answer is: $oxed{answer}$. I hope it is correct.

Where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.

Problem: A function $f$ from the integers to the integers is defined as follows:
\[f(n) = \left\{
\begin{array}{cl}
n + 3 & \text{if $n$ is odd}, \\
n/2 & \text{if $n$ is even}.
\end{array}
\right.\]Suppose $k$ is odd and $f(f(f(k))) = 27.$  Find $k.$
