[net.math] Dividing Candy

presley (10/21/82)

There's another way to divide the candy bar into N pieces.  Take a knife
and start moving it from one end of the candy bar.  Do this until
someone says "I want it".  The candy is cut at where the knife was when
he said it; he gets the piece just cut off and is out of contention.
Keep doing this until you have N-1 pieces distributed; the remaining
piece goes to whomever is left.
