Five pirates on the island must divide among themselves hundreds of gold coins.
')
They divide their prey like this:
The senior pirate suggests how to divide the prey, and then everyone votes, agreeing with his proposal or not;
if at least half of the pirates vote in favor, they will divide the coins as suggested by the older pirate, if not, they kill the older pirate and start all over again;
the oldest pirate (of those who survived) proposes a new plan, votes for him by the same rules, and then either divide the loot, or kill the older pirate;
The process continues until a plan is adopted.
Now suppose you are a senior pirate. How do you propose to split the prey?
PS All other pirates are greedy , they think very logically , and they all want to live))
UPD : For those who still want to solve this puzzle: let's number the pirates from 1 to 5, where 5 is the youngest. This will help you / us to explain the solution to the problem.
