Interview question: How to divide five apples for three people?

At present, many large companies require employees to have high ability when recruiting, which is not only reflected in their academic qualifications and work experience, but also in their thinking ability and reaction ability.

The most direct way to examine a person's thinking ability and reaction is interview. Therefore, many companies will have many unexpected problems when designing interview topics.

In a job interview, Xiao met a question that puzzled the interviewer. Five apples are divided among three people. What is the fairest way to divide it?

This question, which is similar to a brain teaser, can examine the interviewer's thinking and reaction ability in handling things. Someone replied, let's share one, and then cut the remaining two and divide them equally. For this conventional answer, the interviewer just nodded slightly.

The second man replied, it's only fair to squeeze all five apples into juice and give them to three people! This answer is striking.

When it was Xiao's turn, she gave another idea: there are no other restrictions, so why not buy an apple again, so that everyone can get two. This is the best solution!

The small answer completely jumped out of the fixed thinking of five apples considering problems. Finally, the person who stayed behind was naturally Xiao A. After listening to this story, did you learn anything from it?
