  1. They are not more peaceful, but more mature than children. Specifically, they don't care if another pirate got a larger share than them. Each one cares only that his share is not less than one fifth of the total, in his evaluation.
  2. Then all that's needed is for the requestor to identify what specific information they ask to be deleted in their account profile and/or their posts.
  3. Yes, the assumption 1 is necessary. We assume that the treasure is as close to a continuum as needed. The assumed precision is the precision of their evaluation of the pieces. I'm not sure why the other assumptions are required. For example, why there would be a conflict between who divides and/or who picks in the case of two, given the assumption 1.
  4. Not peaceful enough We don't want to introduce any other incentives, such as a desire not to be killed. The only criterion should be that each one is satisfied with his own portion of the treasure. They should not be forced to accept. They should be individually satisfied. Not by majority either. Literally, each pirate should leave satisfied. A solution should be as good for each one of the five pirates as in the example of two pirates above.
  5. If there were two pirates rather than five, a solution could be that one of them divides the treasure into two parts, and the other one chooses.
  6. There is a part of the train that moves backward relative to the ground when the train moves forward at any speed.
  7. I really don't know, and you might be right. In this case, +1. Now, let's consider an electric train.
  8. Yes, anti-protons and protons annihilate.
  9. Five aging pirates decided to split their treasure and to retire. Each one will be satisfied if in his estimate his share is not smaller than one fifth of the total. Their estimates vary. How can they do it peacefully?
  10. I did, and it was
  11. Yes. +1
  12. This is a pair of bar magnets one of which has been demagnetized. How to find out which is it without any other tools or materials?
  13. I cannot speak of the jobs I'm not familiar with, but as I look back on the jobs I've been ever involved with, NONE of them would've been in danger from the ChatGPT and alike.
  14. Ask OP. They said it in the topic.
  15. Give me the data and I will give you the graph.
  16. Everything should be free. What does cut off the list?
  17. Oh, I see.
  18. How will the answer change if the slips are randomly reshuffled each time before the next prisoner enters the room?
