Can you solve it? Are you as smart as Spock?

A New Year's Challenge: Can You Crack the Cookie Jar Conundrum?

Logic enthusiasts, rejoice! World Logic Day has arrived, and with it comes a brain-twisting puzzle that will put your deductive reasoning skills to the test. Three friends - Andy, Bea, and Celine - have a jar of ten cookies and agree to take turns drawing out as many cookies as they like, with certain conditions in place.

The rules are straightforward: no one wants to end up with the most or least number of cookies, and they aim to collect as many cookies as possible. However, there's a catch. If condition 1 (avoiding extremes) takes priority over condition 2 (maximizing cookie collection), how will this affect their final score?

Think you can solve it? The solution won't be revealed until later, so for now, consider the following: what happens when rationality meets logic? Will one person end up with all the cookies, or will they find a way to divide them fairly? Share your thoughts on illogical arguments and discuss this puzzle with fellow enthusiasts.

In the meantime, get ready to put your problem-solving skills to the test. The clock is ticking, and only one answer can be correct.
 
๐Ÿค” I'm not really sure what's so challenging about this, it just seems like they're trying to make a decision on who gets more cookies than the others...I mean, why can't you just divide the 10 cookies evenly among the three of them? It would be fair and no one would end up with all or none. But I guess that's not what they want since there are "certain conditions in place"... ๐Ÿช๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
 
I'm always fascinated by brain teasers like this cookie jar conundrum ๐Ÿ˜Š. To me, it's all about weighing the importance of having a decent number of cookies versus collecting as many as possible without going extreme. It's interesting how rationality and logic can sometimes conflict with each other.

For instance, if you think one person should end up with most cookies to prevent them from having the least, that sounds pretty fair. But then again, it might lead to one person taking all the good ones and leaving others with nothing. I think there's gotta be a sweet spot somewhere in between. Can't wait to see what others come up with! ๐Ÿค”
 
OMG I'm like totally stoked for World Logic Day ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ‘! I had this same issue with my ex bf's cookie jar last year... we were trying to divide it fairly among us three, but he kept trying to cheat me out of some because "he liked cookies more". Like, I get it, who doesn't love cookies? ๐Ÿ˜‚ But seriously though, this puzzle is giving me so much anxiety, what if no one gets any cookies and the jar just sits there empty? ๐Ÿคฏ I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that Andy will be the cookie king... he's always been the smartest person in our group of friends ๐Ÿ˜œ.
 
omg what's up with these rules lol if they don't want to end up with extremes why do they even draw cookies out ๐Ÿค” idk how they'd manage this puzzle without messing it up like wouldn't celine just take all the cookies and leave Andy & Bea with nothing?
 
๐Ÿค”โ€โ™‚๏ธ OMG, I'm so here for this challenge! ๐Ÿช It's like a real-life game of cookie math ๐Ÿ“. I think it's gonna be super hard to solve because you gotta balance out the extremes โš–๏ธ. What if one person takes too many cookies and leaves everyone else with barely anything? ๐Ÿคฏ That wouldn't be fair at all ๐Ÿ˜”.

I'm thinking maybe they should just take turns drawing a certain number of cookies, like 2 or 3, so nobody gets way more than the others ๐Ÿ”„. Or what if they have to draw from a random cookie pot, not knowing how many are left? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ That would add an extra level of excitement and challenge ๐Ÿ˜….

I'm definitely gonna take some time to think about this and see if I can come up with a solution ๐Ÿ“. Maybe we can work together and figure it out as a team ๐Ÿ’ก!
 
I gotta say, this cookie jar conundrum has got me thinking ๐Ÿคฏ... I'm a bit skeptical about people trying to 'divide them fairly' - like, isn't that just code for 'we want to end up with nothing'? I mean, what's the fun in sharing cookies if you're gonna end up with almost nothing? Logic enthusiasts can argue all they want, but at the end of the day, it's just human nature to want more (or less). The idea of a 'correct' answer seems kinda pointless - there's always gonna be someone who gets left behind. Plus, what if one person is way more logical than the others? They'll just take all the cookies and then everyone else can suck it ๐Ÿช๐Ÿ˜’.
