Five pirates are deciding how to split up 100 gold coins. Pirate 5 must propose a plan to split up the coins. All pirates will then vote on the plan. If the plan receives a majority vote, they split up the coins and go about their plundery ways. If pirate 5's plan loses the vote, he has to walk the plank and pirate 4 proposes a plan with only 4 pirates remaining. The process repeats until a plan is accepted. Pirates follow theses rules:
- No pirate will make a vote that will result in his or her death.
- All pirates want to maximize their own gold.
- If a pirate will get the same deal for themselves later down the line, they will vote against it the first time so one of their fellow pirates has to walk the plank.
So, without getting too far into it what pirate do you think you want to be?
...
Too bad you're pirate 5. What plan do you propose to live and maximize your gold?
