5 pirates of different ages, on a treasure hunt, come across an island, where they find a treasure box with 100 gold coins.
They must share the coins with the following approach:
The oldest pirate proposes how to share the coins. Then remaining 4 pirates vote for this proposal. They may agree or disagree with the proposal.
In version 1 of this puzzle, All 5 pirates including the oldest pirate were allowed to vote.... but in version 2, the oldest pirate who is proposing the distribution, is not allowed to vote for his own proposal.
And this leads to a whole different scenario.
Now, If 50% or more of the pirates agree on this proposal, then the coins will be shared
as proposed by the Oldest pirate.
But if the votes in favor are less than 50% , then the proposal will be rejected...
and the pirate proposing the distribution will be thrown in to the sea!
and the process is repeated with the pirates that remain.
Oldest pirate proposes how to share the coins.
Remaining pirates vote for or against it.
50% or more votes, Proposal will be accepted.
Otherwise, Proposal will be rejected.
and the pirate proposing the distribution will be thrown in to the sea.
and the process is repeated so on…
All 5 pirates are Intelligent...,they can think from the perpsctive of other pirates, and to solve this puzzle, you have to think from the perspective of each pirate.
They are Greedy... even for a single coin.
They are Bloodthirsty... so a pirate will vote against the proposal if he doesn't get a better deal than what he can get in next turn.
But they are Rational... so behind their decision, there must be a logic.And importantly... they all don't wish to die.
