The Quest for Optimal Cookie Distribution: Can You Outsmart Spock?
In a world where logic reigns supreme, three friends - Andy, Bea, and Celine - embark on a mission to distribute ten cookies among themselves without any of them ending up with the most or least. The rules are simple: no one wants to be left with the fewest or the greatest number of cookies. It's a paradox that has stumped even the most logical of minds.
The friends take turns pulling out as many cookies as they like, with the caveat that their primary objective is to maximize the total cookie haul while avoiding the extremes of having too many or too few for themselves. Sounds easy? Think again. This puzzle requires precision and strategic thinking to resolve.
With no communication allowed and a focus on individual self-interest, these three individuals must navigate this delicate balance of logic and emotional manipulation. Can they find a solution that satisfies both conditions and leaves them with an optimal cookie distribution?
Will the friends be able to solve the conundrum without resorting to underhanded tactics or will they succumb to their baser instincts? Stay tuned until 5 pm UK for the solution, and don't worry if you need a moment to collect your thoughts β it's okay to acknowledge that this puzzle has left you feeling illogically puzzled.
