RB_CH01_Q056. Seven gold bars two cuts
difficulty ·answer type: enumeration·✓Not solved
Problem
Again, an absolute classic. You hire a man to work in your yard for seven days. You wish to pay him in gold. You have one gold bar with seven pieces—like a chocolate bar. You wish to pay him one gold piece per day, but you may snap the bar in two places. Where do you snap the bar so that you may pay him at the end of each day, and so that on successive days he may use what you paid him previously to make change?
