Riddles - Play and win cRPG gold!

New riddle ! 30K reward

You have done a heist with 4 other crooks named A, B, C and D. The sum of what you stole together is 10 gold pieces.

Because you are all psychotic and perfectly rational and selfish logicians, you come up with a very convoluted way of splitting the loot :

Crooks are ordered : you are first, then it's A followed by B, C, and finally D.

The splitting is done via voting. The first bandit that is not dead (if you die it will be A, if A dies too it will be B, etc.) makes a splitting proposal. Then everybody votes yes or no. If a majority accepts the proposal, the splitting is done and the game ends. If the majority refuses, the first bandit is killed and the next bandit makes a proposal, and so on.

What splitting should you propose in order to stay alive and get as many gold pieces as possible ?

- A "splitting" is the number of gold pieces given to each bandit. Example : 3 to myself, 2 to A, 4 to D, 1 to C and nothing to B. Numbers cannot be negative. You cannot break gold pieces (that means all numbers are integers). The sum of the amounts of gold pieces given to alive bandits must be 10.
- The majority of bandit means 50% of those alive or more, which means the proposal is accepted if the same number of bandits vote for and against the proposal too.
- Selfish crooks means everybody has the same goal as you.
- Each turn, everybody votes, including the one that made the proposal.

D will always vote no, as if he is the last one standing, he will win 10 gold.
C does not want you, A, B AND C eliminated, because in that case he would lose to D.
So C will vote no until B makes his offer.
B knows that his offer will probably be accepted. When he makes it, C will accept so as not to stand alone against D and D will reject it, but his vote will make it pass. So for maximum gold, he will vote no (unless made a good offer).
A knows that he is next on the line, and B, D will NO him, but as A, C get 50% of the votes, his will probably pass. So he will probably NO.
So you are doomed

Since D will always vote NO, offer him 0.
To get C's vote, give him 4 gold (more than 1/3, which is what he can expect at most from BCD)
As B will want to make his offer, give hiim 0.
A will probably be won by 4 as well.
So an offer for 2-4-0-4-0 would be my bet. You get 2, which is not too much, but will do

I'd say 7-0-1-2-0.

Explanation: As Moncho got right D will want to be everyone dead and votes no until only he and C are left to win by his 50%. That's why C would be happy with 2 gold pieces which is more than 0 and more than 1 which B would offer him when it's his turn. (He would do 9-1-0 and still win). If B voted no in the first proposal A would do this one: 9-0-1-0 and win. So B would by happy if he got only 1. So just give B 1 gold piece and C 2 gold pieces and they will vote yes for you.

D will always vote no, as if he is the last one standing, he will win 10 gold.

This is not true. when C and D are last, any proposal that C makes will always be accepted by "the majority", aka C himself. I changed the post to put emphasis on this.

C does not want you, A, B AND C eliminated, because in that case he would lose to D.
So C will vote no until B makes his offer.
B knows that his offer will probably be accepted. When he makes it, C will accept so as not to stand alone against D and D will reject it, but his vote will make it pass. So for maximum gold, he will vote no (unless made a good offer).
A knows that he is next on the line, and B, D will NO him, but as A, C get 50% of the votes, his will probably pass. So he will probably NO.
So you are doomed

Since D will always vote NO, offer him 0.
To get C's vote, give him 4 gold (more than 1/3, which is what he can expect at most from BCD)
As B will want to make his offer, give hiim 0.
A will probably be won by 4 as well.
So an offer for 2-4-0-4-0 would be my bet. You get 2, which is not too much, but will do

I'd say 7-0-1-2-0.

Both incorrect.

[Prinz_Karl]

8-0-1-1-0? As C wouldn't get more than 1 anyway.

[Moncho]

This is not true. when C and D are last, any proposal that C makes will always be accepted by "the majority", aka C himself.

True that, I missed it. It changes the position of C and D completely
In that case 0 for C
With giving 1 to D he will be happy enough
A will say 9-0-0-1, which will get accepted, so he will say no...
So I would go 8-0-1-0-1.
The 1 for C because if he says no, he will get 0.

[Prinz_Karl]

Mistook D for C too lol.

And yes it's 8-0-1-0-1 instead of 8-0-1-1-0. I think Moncho got this first.

I know that Einstein wrote it saying only 2 or 3 percent of worlds population were able to riddle it

Exact

It's 8-0-1-0-1 because you give B and D just more than nothing. If you die and A makes a proposal, they get nothing.

Also, send me a pm so I can give you the money
