Fits alot of them anyway...

Okay, this is where we were: - 9. Small spelling error encircled. NOTE: mass abreviated passport. (7) And I had said that the missing b in abbreviation was not a part of the puzzle.

He pretty much did again, hate to be a nag. If you would like I'll concede...

Yeah, I see now you already did, sorry, am really not a nag That's it for this one. Okay, just one more and a tiny piece of another: - 5. which is missing one little explanation (see posts #25 and my responses in #27 and #48) - 9. chicory got a good start on this one (see post #23 and my response #26)

Right on. You two have all the letters and the few words in the "sentence" not used should order them. Heyupal thinks you can tie it up (illiesm or whatever?)?

Yes, reread the puzzle and plug 'em in with what you have so far and maybe which one (O or Y) and the answer will reveal itself.

nothing wrong with your logic, just happens to be different than this answer

Think you are onto something despite the No mentioned in the spoiler. ...

[spoiler='IDK: '] was thinking cause and effect or means to an end But not one word answer so will continue to mull....

Had used this clue before and think (as it is most likely) that chicory got it last time.

tee hee, y'all set me a gigglin'

Absolutely! Like it or too obtuse...

d Right of course. Maybe if it's changed as follows: A cuts the cake in what he feels are three equal pieces. B and C place secret ballots as to which piece they want. They reveal their choice at the same time. If they each choose different pieces, problem solved as all is fair. If they choose the same piece, A chooses one of the other pieces. B and C are then told to place another secret ballot as to which of the two they did not choose should go to A. If they pick the same A gets that one but if they pick different then A gets the slice that B and C had chosen in the first ballot. Now there are two remaining pieces. B cuts one in half and C chooses; C cuts the other in half and B chooses. I think this revision motivates A to cut the cake as close as possible into thirds. Hard to visualize for me though...

[spoiler=' Maybe ']no friend or enemy????

I dont think your logic works for this particular problem. The OP's second sentence says "each person thinks that the other two might be colluding." and the object is to find a solution that is fair to all. In your scenerio it seems to me that B and C could be in collusion. B cuts all but the tiniest sliver off of one of the pieces, piles it on another, and then B and C split all but that smallest of slivers. Not fair to A

Okay, let's try this [spoiler=': ']A cuts the cake in what he feels are three equal pieces. B and C place secret ballots as to which piece they want. They reveal their choice at the same time. If they each choose different pieces, problem solved as all is fair. If they choose the same piece, A chooses one of the other pieces. Now there are two remaining pieces. B cuts one in half and C chooses; C cuts the other in half and B chooses.

Aha, extra hints...
