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.

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.

Now #2 knows whatever he picks, #3 will take the median between him & #1 e.g. now #1 picked 20, if he pick 6 then #3 will pick 13 putting him either being the lowest or highest. He cannot allow that so the best chance is to match #1, so he picked 20 as well.

#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.
