The 5 of us have inherited 4 incredible items from a long lost relative ... ... Unfortunately, there are not enough items, and the items have different values for different people. How can we divide these prizes fairly amongst the 5 of us?
Some assumptions... • Everything has a monetary value. • The monetary value is the most money one would willingly pay for the item. • Everyone values items differently. • Receiving an item is as satisfying as receiving the monetary value for the item instead. • Everyone has enough money to pay for the monetary values of all items. • Players' bids are honest and secret.
Now, for the prizes up for bid... • Come up with a monetary value for each item within your cluster. • Bid honestly. • Do not over bid - you might have to end up paying for it! • Do not under bid - you might feel envious of other players after the bidding is revealed. • Without further adieu...
The first item we've inherited is... Place your bids!
