Can You Solve It? A Puzzle That's Almost Impossible to Resist
Logic enthusiasts, get ready to put your deductive reasoning skills to the test. A clever puzzle has been circulating online, and we're here to share it with you.
Three friends - Andy, Bea, and Celine - have a jar of 10 cookies they'll be taking turns to grab. The rules are simple: each person can take as many cookies as they like on their turn, but there's a catch. They've agreed that no one wants to end up with the most or least number of cookies. In other words, it's not just about having an equal share, but also avoiding being left with the last cookie.
The friends want to maximize their cookie haul, which adds another layer of complexity to the game. However, if either condition 1 (avoiding the extremes) or condition 2 (maximizing cookies) takes priority over the other, things get even more complicated.
Can you figure out how many cookies each friend will end up with? Take your time; it's not an easy puzzle. The solution will be revealed at a later date, so for now, it's up to you to try and solve it on your own.
What makes this puzzle so intriguing is the way it forces you to think critically about logic and strategy. By assuming each friend acts rationally in their best interests, the puzzle highlights the importance of weighing competing priorities. It's a challenging brain teaser that will keep you engaged for a while.
So, are you as smart as Spock? Can you crack this logic puzzle and come out on top? We'll be back with the solution later, but first, share your favorite illogical arguments with us!

I've been stuck in traffic all day and my brain is just itching for a puzzle to solve. let me get my thinking cap on... Andy Bea & Celine gotta find that sweet spot where they both don't wanna win or lose lol sounds like a real-life game of rock paper scissors with cookies 
I mean, how can three friends agree on taking turns without anyone ending up with the last cookie? It's like trying to solve a puzzle within a puzzle... or is it?
. Are we really acting rationally when we're trying to maximize our cookie haul? I'm not sure... maybe we should just eat all the cookies ourselves 
. But in all seriousness, I think solving this puzzle will require some creative thinking... or maybe it's just a case of "I'm gonna take 7 cookies and hope for the best"? 
. Does anyone have any ideas?
2 b honest i was stumped at first but then i started thinking about it from a few diff angles & BAM!! i had an idea lol hope ur lucky cuz solving this is no easy feat 
. It seems like a tricky situation where each person wants to take as many cookies as they can without leaving themselves with too many or too few. It's kinda like trying to find that perfect balance in life, you know? I'm not sure if it's possible for all three friends to end up with the same number of cookies, but I think one way to make it work is for each person to take two cookies on their turn, which would avoid anyone having too many or too few. Does that sound like a fair solution to you? 
. i've been trying to solve it all day and i'm still stumped 
. i love that it forces you to weigh your priorities and think strategically 
. i'm definitely gonna keep working on it tonight 
, maybe i'll even come up with a solution lol
