Align the two apples so they're off center to one another. One has 2/3 on the outside to the left, 1/3 to the right, the other 2/3 to the outside to the right, 1/3 to the left.

Bird's eye view, the single line cutting both apples will leave us with the left 2/3 of the first apple and the right 2/3 of the second, and a third portions made of 2 thirds, or another 2/3 of an apple.

One cut, 2 apples, 3 equal portions.

So from what I see here, if I slam the knife down on both other people, I get 2 apples?

You could simply murder one of the players

You know, that does sound easier than aligning some janky-ass shaped apples just right.

Is that not the joke? Am I a psycho now?

[-] defluo@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Not alone, I assumed that was the joke here.

In a single stroke? With 1d4 damage?

If you have a wizard in your party, I guess.

[-] HopFlop@discuss.tchncs.de 30 points 1 year ago

No need to align them like that. Just place them one behind the other and cut off one third on the side (with a single stroke).

But which one is lawful good and which one is chaotic evil?

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 year ago

They don’t have to be aligned off center from each other, just as long as you cut a third off of each in one stroke.

Alternatively, one person just stabs one of the others, and the two survivors each get a whole apple.

Dumb question, how do you make two apples off center from each other?

[-] Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

You're right that they're off-center from a first "symmetry line" you have to draw.

So: you place them on your cutting board. Trace an imaginary vertical bird's eye view that passes by the center of both. Now based on that imaginary line, move both apples so they're offset 2/3-1/3 from that line in each direction.

I thought about this at first but then two people get the core as part of their portion and one doesn't :(

[-] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago

Lay them on the side and cut through them horizontally, everyone gets core

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Simple solution to that is the cores are a problem for the two people that aren't in possession of the knife.
