5 pirates of different ages, on a treasure hunt, come across a small island, where they find a treasure box with 100 gold coins.
On their ship, they decide to split the coins using this scheme:
The oldest pirate proposes how to share the coins, and ALL pirates (including the oldest) vote for or against it.
If 50% or more of the pirates vote for it, then the coins will be shared that way.
But if the votes are less than 50%, the proposal will be rejected...
and the pirate proposing the scheme will be thrown overboard !
again the process is repeated with the pirates that remain.
All the 5 pirates are Intelligent, Greedy, Bloodthirsty, Rational and importantly... they all don't wish to die.
