The converse problem is, of course, Billy and Bobby who are fighting over
the cake. "I want the whole thing!" says Billy. "No, I want half!" says
Bobby. "Children, children!" says the mother. "You should compromise. Billy
gets 3/4 and Bobby gets 1/4."

Some people should not be compromised with, and there should be a mechanism
for dealing with this eventuality.
