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 / viswanathan
There is a problem with asking the worker to break off 1
piece of the 7 pieces everyday till the completion of work
period, because the worker is being paid only for the work
he has done and would demand more pay if he is asked to do
some more work (i.e, to break off 1 piece of the seven
pieces everyday)so that solution is not feasible.
