Sometimes the cutting of the assistant is emphasised by sawing between the two halves of the box before sliding the dividers into place. Catches are released to allow the table to be separated into two halves along with the box. The halves are parted and the assistant thus appears to have been cut into two completely disconnected pieces.
Cut-near-halves may need at least four cuts: first, George cuts in the ratio 5:5, and Alice gets 5. Then, Alice cuts in the ratio 3:2; suppose George chooses the 2. Then, George cuts in the ratio 2:1; suppose Alice chooses the 1. Finally, they do cut-and-choose on the remainder. We can do better by letting George cut in the ratio 6:4.

It involves a heterogeneous good or resource ("the cake") and two partners who have different preferences over parts of the cake (both want as much of it as possible). The procedure ...

For two cakes, they prove that an EF allocation may not exist when there are 2 agents and each cake is cut into 2 pieces. However, an EF allocation exists when there are 2 agents and one cake is cut into 3 pieces (the least-wanted piece is discarded), or when there are 3 agents and each cake is cut into 2 pieces (one agent is ignored; the ...
The apparent paradox is explained by the fact that the side of the new large square is a little smaller than the original one. If θ is the angle between two opposing sides in each quadrilateral, then the ratio of the two areas is given by sec 2 θ. For θ = 5°, this is approximately 1.00765, which corresponds to a difference of about 0.8%.
