You've got someone working for you for seven days and a gold
bar to pay them. The gold bar is segmented into seven
connected pieces. You must give them a piece of gold at the
end of every day. If you are only allowed to make two breaks
in the gold bar, how do you pay your worker?
Answer Posted / jb
There's an issue with the standard/"correct" answer of
breaking into 1, 2 and 4 segment blocks, which is; what
happens if the worker spends some of his pay after being
given it?
Depending what's being looked for, a correct answer could
be a wrong one. Most intelligent people should be able to
work out the algorithm, but in doing so show that they lack
consideration of the real world; i.e. that pay is there to
be spent.
