Eh....I wouldn't call it "fun"....but....I am learning.....[mainly....that I should avoid probability questions.....!!!! ]

Correct, Mellie !!!

Thanks, Melody......

I say we use the "Cake-Cutting" Algorithm to divvy up that cake........

The first person cuts the cake......the other decides which piece they want, first......

This prevents the first person from cutting two unequal pieces and taking the  LARGER ONE.....!!!!

Let me look again, Mellie.....

The possible amounts of money that could be made are

(25,25,25)  = 75 cents       (5,5,1) = 11 cents

(25, 25,5) = 55 cents         (5 ,1, 1) = 7 cents

(25,5,5)  = 35 cents           (25, 5 , 1)  = 31 cents

(5,5,5) = 15 cents              

(25, 25, 1) = 51 cents

(25,1, 1)  = 27 cents

(1,1,1)  = 3 cents

So 35 cents probability  =    1/10  

I think that's it   !!!

I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!   I WAS RIGHT   !!!!

I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!   I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!     I WAS RIGHT   !!!!

I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!   I WAS RIGHT   !!!!

I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!   I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!     I WAS RIGHT   !!!!

I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!   I WAS RIGHT   !!!!

I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!   I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!     I WAS RIGHT   !!!!

I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!   I WAS RIGHT   !!!!

I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!   I WAS RIGHT   !!!!    I WAS RIGHT   !!!!     I WAS RIGHT   !!!!

That's payback for claiming that you "lost" the knfe.......!!!!!
