Lowest common denominator is 6... Or murder.

[–] fishos@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It can be done in 4 pieces. Whole numbers aren't necessary for the pieces.

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Four is just two twos but doesn't have three as a factor, so four still isn't equally shareable among three without either not sharing some or, hear me out, murder.

Two pieces equal to 1/3 of the total and two pieces equal to 1/6th. Everyone gets a third with 4 pieces, but one person has two smaller pieces that add up to a third. You can accomplish this by cutting one third off each apple with a single stroke,.

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If we can go through multiple apples in a single stroke, then we can assume we're allowed to a) go through the same apple multiple times b) make curved, complex strokes c) murder party members.

I think you're stretching the definition of a single stroke a bit thin. 😂

Grrr

"These three want to share..." specifically precludes murder.

Watch as chaotic evil don't care, failing the test but having fun anyway:-P.

CE does it for the lulz while CN does it because fuck it, why not?

[–] Bipta@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That was my impression but now that someone else has it the contrarian in me says otherwise.

[–] kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think that's least common multiple, as opposed to the greatest common denominator.

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They're related, but since we're dealing with fractions and not integers, it's LCD

See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowest_common_denominator

[–] kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 9 months ago

Ah, that makes sense, thanks! I haven't heard of the term before so it threw me off-guard.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Cake or death!

[–] HopingForBetter@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So, Jerry's choice is "...or death?"

[–] Aermis@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I'll have the chicken then.

[–] Lath@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Interesting how murder was the option chosen. Some would have chosen self-sacrifice instead.

[–] fishos@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago

Paladins maybe? Unless suicide is taboo

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

Six murders? My party would be happy to oblige.
