Riddles by Travis:

Answer to last week's riddle: "Equal division of the contested sum." See http://dept.econ.yorku.ca/~jros/docs/AumannGame.pdf for details.

Last week's riddle asked: "A man has three wives, each with a pre-nuptial agreement. Upon the man's death, Wife 1 is to be paid $100,000 from his estate, Wife 2 is to be paid $200,000 from his estate, and Wife 3 is to be paid $300,000 from his estate. Unfortunately, the man dies with only $200,000. A judge splits the estate in the following manner: Wife 1 -- $50,000, Wife 2 -- $75,000, Wife 3 -- $75,000. Under what specific rationale could this be construed as 'fair'?"

This week's riddle: It is garbage day, but it is raining. There is a large bag of dirty diapers that need to be taken out, but neither parent wants to get wet. What is the perfect word for this type of dilemma? Hint: The word comes from Tierra del Fuego.
