解放军文职招聘考试公平的分配

“下午好，两位先生。”商人向拉姆和希亚问候道。商人看起来又累又饿，所以拉姆和希亚邀请他和他们一起吃午饭。

“但是我们有三个人怎么分这三个面包呢？”拉姆为难了。

 “我们把面包放在一起，再把每个面包切成均等的三块。”希亚建议道。

 把面包切开后，他们把面包平均分成三份，每个人都不多也不少。

吃完面包后，商人坚持要给他们钱。拉姆和希亚推辞不掉，只好收下。

待商人离开后，两人一数金币的数量——8个。

“8个金币，两个人。我们就每人4个金币。”拉姆说道。

“这不公平。”西亚大声反对，“我有5个面包，你只有3个。所以我应该拿5个金币，你只能拿3个。”

拉姆不想争吵，但他也不想给希亚5个金币。

“我们去找村长做裁决。他是个公正的人。”拉姆说道。

他们来到村长毛尔维的家，把整个事情的经过告诉了他。毛尔维想了很久，最后说：“分配这笔钱的公平办法就是希亚拿7个金币，拉姆拿1个。”

“什么？”拉姆惊叫道。

“我为什么该得7个？”希亚也觉得很奇怪。

当毛尔维把他的分配理由解释清楚后，拉姆和希亚打偶没有对这个分配再提出异议。

这真的是一个公平的裁决吗？

要知道毛尔维的裁决是否公平，就要先回答这些问题：

1、8个面包被切成了多少块？

2、每个人吃了多少块面包？

3、拉姆的面包被分成了多少块？

4、拉姆吃了8块面包，还剩几块留给商人？

5、希亚的面包被分成了多上块？

6、希亚吃了8块面包，还剩几块留给商人？

毛尔维决定只给拉姆一个硬币，而给希亚7个，是因为商人吃了8块面包，只有一块是从拉姆的面包中来的，而其余7块都是希亚的。

点示：我们愤愤不平，太多是因为我们只会算计，不会计算。

 

Just Allocation

In a hot afternoon, two farmers were enjoying the cool under the tree. One farmer called L and the other called X. both carried tasty bread as their lunch. Ltook three bread and X five. A businessman passed by when they were ready to have lunch.

“good afternoon, gentlemen.” The businessman greeted L and X. the businessman was tires and hungry. L and X invited him to have dinner together.

“But we three men how to separate three breads? ” L confused.

“Let’s put the breads together, then divide every one into three equal parts.” X suggested.

Cutting and dividing the breads, they all got the exact one.

Eating up the breads, the businessman insisted to pay and L and X have no idea but to get it.

When the businessman went away, L and X counted the number of  golden bills----eight.

“Eight bills, two person. Four bills every one.” L said.

“It’s unjust,” X opposed loudly, “I had five breads and you just three, so I should get five bills and you three.”

L reluctant to argue, neither would he gave X five bills.

“Let’s invite our village manager Morwey’s house and tell all to him. ” Thinking for a while, Morwey replied: “The just way to distribute these bill is X take seven bills and L one.”

“Pardon?” L screamed.

“Why should I posses seven?” Xalso felt strange.

After Morwey explained his reason clearly, both Land X had no dispute on this allocation.

Was this really a just rule?

Answer these questions before you decide whether it was just or not:

1.How many small pieces the eight breads were divided into?

2.How many pieces every one ate?

3.How many small pieces did L’s breads?

4.How many pieces L left for the businessman after he ate eight?

5.How many small pieces did X’s breads were divided into?

6.How many pieces X left for the businessman after he ate eight?

The reason that Morwey only gave L one bill and X seven because the businessman ate eight pieces and only one was left from L’s while other seven pieces from X.

Tips: we always indignant mostly because we are used to scheming, but not counting.
