0 Guest Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 They could've just smashed all the pies together and then share it out. Or they could've given the pies to three of them and since it was uneven killed the fourth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about if one of them (probably the sister) killed the others, then everyone left would have an equal share. Although I don't think this is the right answer since the question clearly states that it has to be done without utensils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The king's sister and the friend's wife are one and the same. So there is no problem. The three people shared the three pies.

0 Guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Maybe since they are all at least close to royalty they decided they couldn't possibly eat three pies between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
