Four is just two twos but doesn’t have three as a factor, so four still isn’t equally shareable among three without either not sharing some or, hear me out, murder.
Two pieces equal to 1/3 of the total and two pieces equal to 1/6th. Everyone gets a third with 4 pieces, but one person has two smaller pieces that add up to a third. You can accomplish this by cutting one third off each apple with a single stroke,.
If we can go through multiple apples in a single stroke, then we can assume we’re allowed to a) go through the same apple multiple times b) make curved, complex strokes c) murder party members.
Lowest common denominator is 6… Or murder.
It can be done in 4 pieces. Whole numbers aren’t necessary for the pieces.

Thanks :D I use Gir for everything haha
Grrr

I think you’re stretching the definition of a single stroke a bit thin. 😂
“These three want to share…” specifically precludes murder.
Watch as chaotic evil don’t care, failing the test but having fun anyway:-P.
That was my impression but now that someone else has it the contrarian in me says otherwise.
CE does it for the lulz while CN does it because fuck it, why not?
I think that’s least common multiple, as opposed to the greatest common denominator.
They’re related, but since we’re dealing with fractions and not integers, it’s LCD
See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowest_common_denominator
Ah, that makes sense, thanks! I haven’t heard of the term before so it threw me off-guard.
Cake or death!
So, Jerry’s choice is “…or death?”
I’ll have the chicken then.
Interesting how murder was the option chosen. Some would have chosen self-sacrifice instead.
Paladins maybe? Unless suicide is taboo
