You yourself have joined Anne, Charles, Billy and John from last month's adventure.
Pirates are notoriously bloodthirsty and greedy, and this group pirates are all extremely logical. You have 100 gold coins to share as a group.
Here are the rules for splitting the booty:
The oldest pirate proposes a division of gold coins.
- If at least half of the crew votes in favor, coins are split and everyone is happy
- If the vote fails, the crew kills the oldest pirate and the next-oldest pirate makes a new proposal with the same rules.
The proposal process continues until one is accepted. Individuals are allowed to make voting blocs.
As the oldest pirate, how many gold coins do you walk away with? Please explain.
