As a nice feature, this weekend on The Veneziani Journal, boy genius (literally) Horatio Boedihardjo, who’s been working on his PhD at Oxford since he was 17-years-old, joins us and poses us with a rather difficult question:

How about Maths puzzle? Have you seen this one

There are 5 pirates A,B,C,D and E are trying to divide 100 coins. The rule is: A will propose how to divide the money between the five. If there is strictly more than half of the pirates voting for the proposal, then he will be shot dead. Then the next pirate will give his proposal. then they vote again, etc.

The question is what should A’s proposal be.

The answer on Monday. Enjoy your weekend everyone. Have at it.

Update: The answer.
