Did you solve it? Are you as smart as Spock?

Ugh I just love these logic puzzles but this one is kinda weird . I mean I get that Andy taking 4 cookies is the smart move but it's also super unfair to Bea and Celine. It's like they're being forced to do each other dirty . And what's up with Spock? Is he supposed to be some kind of cookie expert now . I swear, sometimes I think these puzzles are more about the drama than actually figuring out a solution . Anyway, kudos to Andy for winning, but I'm still not impressed .

I had that same puzzle stuck in my head for days, wondering if there was a way to get everyone a decent number of cookies without anyone getting the worst or best deal. Andy's strategy seems pretty clever, taking 4 to avoid being last and Bea's decision to take all the rest shows she's thinking ahead too... but I'm not sure how I feel about leaving Celine with zero . Maybe it's just me, but sharing cookies doesn't have to mean everyone gets an equal number, sometimes you gotta think about what's best for your own game .

I gotta say, this cookie conundrum has me stumped! I love how it forces these three friends to think strategically about their cookie stash. It's like a real-life game of chess, but with cookies (who doesn't love that?! ).

I think what really gets me is the moral aspect - it's all about winning at all costs, even if it means leaving one person with none. It's not exactly the most inspiring outcome, but hey, that's just the way the cookie crumbles, right?

For me, I think what makes this puzzle so clever is how it highlights the importance of thinking ahead and anticipating your opponent's moves. Andy's careful decision to take 4 cookies shows that sometimes it's better to err on the side of caution, even if it means not getting the most cookies.

But overall, I'm just glad I don't have to navigate this crazy cookie jar in real life!

I don't buy into all this logical thinking . In my opinion, Bea was way too ruthless for her own good. Taking all the remaining cookies just to secure her spot in the middle? That's not a move I'd want on my team - or with myself if I were in her shoes . Andy might have gotten away with being cautious, but Bea played it like she was trying to prove something . And what's with everyone saying "pragmatic" as if that's the only goal? Can't we just try to be nice for once and share those cookies equally?
