Fortune cookies are tasty but are they accurate?

The result for programming methodology mid term test is finally out. It's the one with 4 programming questions and have to finish it within 1.75hr. It was tough, struggling through the 1.75hr to write out 4 programs on paper without testing it. And for a noob programmer like myself, the time given was certainly not enough to finish all the questions. Here's the raw score:




Nothing glorious, scoring 51 from a possible 100. Somehow, i managed a passing grade. Hmm, but the average for the test was 41. Thus from the result, it predicted that I'll get a B+(it's a low B+, I just know it somehow) as overall score. A pretty good grade for a score of 51. But really, should I be happy with this score? Probably if i start gloating at others' mishap in this test, I may end up getting a lousier grade myself, and I really cannot afford that as none of this semester's module is easy to me.

How to divide the booty?

There are 5 rational pirates Kaiak, B, C, D, and E. They found 100 Pieces of Eights(pirate currency) and must decide how to divy the booty. The most senior of them will propose a division, and obviously, Kaiak, as the captain will have the honour to do that. The rest of the crew will have to vote for or against the division. If the number of votes for is more than or equal to at least the number of votes against -1, the division is finalised. However, if the number of votes for is less than the number of votes against -1 (reason is the proposed division is a vote itself, cast by the proposer, and the proposer has the final say in case of a tie), the proposer(Kaiak) of the division will be thrown overboard to feed the sharks, and the next senior B, will propose another division.

Dilemmas here:

1. Proposer wants to maximise his gain while not wanting to swim with the sharks
2. The rest of the crew want more people to be thrown to the sharks to get a bigger share

So how should the proposer propose?
