📖 Description

A crew of pirates all keep their gold in one very secure chest, with labelled sections for each pirate. Unfortunately, one day a storm hits the ship, tossing everything about. After the storm clears, the gold in the chest is all mixed up. The pirates each know how much gold they had - indeed, they're rather obsessive about it - but they don't trust each other to give honest numbers. How can they figure out how much gold each pirate had in the chest?
