Remember "The Golden Proposal"? Well, this time the pirates have landed into a somewhat different problem as described below: There is a total of 6 pirates with only one gold coin. As previously, the pirates are super-smart, and they value the following in the order of appearance:(i) their lives(ii) getting gold(iii) seeing the other pirates dieso, given the choice between two outcomes, in which they get the same amount of gold, they would choose the outcome where they get to see more of the other pirates die. How can the pirate 6 save his skin? |
