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?
Answer Posted / greg
The question clearly states that you are only allowed to
make two breaks.. it does not however that the bar is a
rectangle, and the bar is connected by each piece... The bar
is also not said if the pieces are of equal size. You may
make one break in the bar and disconnect 4 of the pieces
that are now not connected at all... another break and your
3 remain our taken care of
