Sorry about the typo. HOW would you split the cows up? -----Original Message----- From: Tim Lewis [mailto:twle...@sc.rr.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2011 3:40 PM To: beginners@perl.org Subject: RE: sample distribution
Suppose that you want to sell the cows. You have two buyers, and each one is paying you $10,000 for 10 cows. You want to divide the cows as fairly as possible so that each buyer gets the same value. Who would you split the cows up?

I have yet code it. I just try to understand the problem first.
