The best chance is #3 because all he needs is take #1 + #2 divide by 2. e.g. #1+#2=28 then he take 14. This is the best chance to avoid being highest or lowest and worst case scenario is he equals #1 & #2. However because all 5 knows this simple theory so I think they all died because they all ended up picking the same number of beans.2 D" Q9 s- m n& {0 s. h) @/ Y

Starting from #1, he knows he cannot pick anything bigger then 49 because if he did, then #2 only have to leave 3 beans for #3 #4 & #5 then he'll live. e.g. #1 picked 53 then #2 picks 100-53-3=44. then A,C,D,E all died. e.g. #1=53, #2=(100-53-3)=44, #3=1, #4=1, #5=1. The best chance for #1 is to pick anything less then or equal the median 20 (100 divided by 5). In fact anything between 3-20 won't change the result. Let's say #1 pick 20.

He cannot allow that so the best chance is to match #1, so he picked 20 as well.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb. c4 J7 j& D: A4 ?0 `! d

#3 did the obvious choice 40 divided by 2 =20, so he picked 20

#4 base on knowing the median rule take 60 divided by 3 =20, so he picked 20 as well.

#5 same as above, he takes 80 divided by 4 =20, picked 20 as well.
