THIS IS A TYPICAL AND FAMOUS PROBLEM which i read in BW in which they wrote that this problem was asked by Microsoft in a placement interview..... Here we have 5 pirates who have just made a fortune of 1000 gold coins and they now plan to divide these coins....but they are all very greedy and clever...greedy enough 2 kill each other for the coins... and they all know that about each other...(this is a very important pt. to be kept in mind..) So they device a method to divide those coins..suppose the pirates are A,B,C,D,E. they line up in dat order n A proposes a method to divide the coins(For ex. he can say dat each gets 200 each or that i wil get 600 n u all 100 each)...then voting is done on that proposal wid all (incl. A) voting FOR or AGAINST the proposal.if it passes(3-2 or 4-1 or 5-0)then they all divide the money according to it n go away.Else if it is rejected,A is killed n B's turn comes to propose a division..same procedure goes on untill either a proposal is accepted or only E is left wid 1000 coins... pl note dat 2-2 is a rejected propasal..to pass it has to b 3-1 or 4-0 if 4 persons vote(i.e. when B proposes)n so on..majority rules... So the question is .....WAT PROPOSAL OF DIVISION SHOULD 'A' GIVE so that he is not killed(i.e. motion passed) n he also walks away wid the max. no. of coins he can get? guys reply soon more bucks for this one . microsoft wants you . sourabh |

New Question Hey friends this is a nice question(not very tough) which i found so i m posting it....try it... A man walks into a bar, orders a drink, and starts chatting with the bartender. After a while, he learns that the bartender has three children. "How old are your children?" he asks. "Well," replies the bartender, "The product of their ages is 72." The man thinks for a moment and then says, "That's not enough information." "All right," continues the bartender. "If you go outside and look at the building number posted over the door to the bar, you'll see the sum of the ages." The man steps outside, and after a few moments he reenters and declares, "Still not enough!" The bartender smiles and says, "My youngest just loves strawberry ice cream." How old are the children? |
