We number the pirate from 1 to 5 (5 is the captain and the
senior level is going down to 1). We will solve problem
from bottom to top.
Let's start the game from 2 pirates => the captain will
take all because he will vote for himself, it means 50% go
"Aye". For sure, the second pirates don't want this
situation because he get nothing. He won't let this
situation happen and he have to choice something when the
team have 3 members.
If the team includes 3, the captain can't get all like
previous situation because he will be killed. He will get
99 coins and the rest for pirate number 1. Number 1 have to
go "Aye" because he don't want the previous case happen.
2/3 accept so the loot will be divided. The number 2 pirate
don't want this case because he get nothing.
If the team include 4, just solve as previous and the
number 4 pirate will take 99 coins, 1 coin for number 2,
number 1 and number 3 get nothing. Number 2 will accept
because he doesn't want the previous case happen. Number 1
and number 3 don't accept but it's not a problem because
number 4 and 2 are accept.
Now come back to our main problem (5 pirates), number 5
need to have at less 3 votes if he doesn't want to die.
Same solution as previous case, Number 5 just get 98 coins,
1 for number 1, 1 for number 3. Number 2 and number 4 get
nothing.
=> Ans: The captain get 98 coins, number 1 and number 3:
each get 1 coin, number 2 and 4 get nothing.

@Jagdeep: I start the game from 2 pirate - that means
pirates in senior level 5,4,3 are dead. It's my supposion
to start the game from an esier game :) If following this
supposion, certainly the captain (the number 2 in senior
level rank) will take all because he vote for himself -
that means 50%. Note in the question: "If the captain fails
to obtain support of at least half his crew (which includes
himself)"
