You've got someone working for you for seven days and a gold
bar to pay them. The gold bar is segmented into seven
connected pieces. You must give them a piece of gold at the
end of every day. If you are only allowed to make two breaks
in the gold bar, how do you pay your worker?

There's an issue with the standard/"correct" answer of
breaking into 1, 2 and 4 segment blocks, which is; what
happens if the worker spends some of his pay after being
given it?
Depending what's being looked for, a correct answer could
be a wrong one. Most intelligent people should be able to
work out the algorithm, but in doing so show that they lack
consideration of the real world; i.e. that pay is there to
be spent.
