Hi everybody,
Today we are putting up our third giveaway. You can see the second one here:
Since there was not a winner for the second giveaway the rewards from that contest will carry over to this contest.
Today's contest starts with a story.
Three weary travelers made their way to the town inn after having traveled in the scorching heat for days. Jacob, a tall strapping young man in his twenties, extracted 3 loaves of bread from his rucksack. Joseph, a middle aged peddler, carried 2 loaves of bread among his wares. Their elderly companion Jonathan, eyed their bread hungrily. He had no food with him. Noticing his plight, both men agreed to split the 5 loaves evenly amongst the three of them. After heartily consuming their meal Jonathan rose and said - "My brothers, you have saved my life. I would like to pay you." He drew 5 golden coins from his pocket and placed them on the table. "Split these fairly between you", he said and disappeared.
Jacob and Joseph looked disbelievingly, at the fortune that had just befallen them. "How should we split the 5th coin?" asked Joseph. Assuming that they would each receive exactly half of the reward. There is no need to split the coin" Jacob responded. "I had 3 loaves of bread - so three coins belong to me. You contributed only 2 and you will fairly receive 2 of the gold coins." "I disagree," Joseph countered. "We split the loaves evenly so should we split the money evenly - 50/50".
After arguing for a while, the pair agreed to go to the local judge that who famous for his wisdom.
What did the judge rule?
