They set these 14 items in a row on the dinner table, in the order above. Then each sibling places two (2) markers to indicate a division of the loot in three shares acceptable for that player, as follows. 1 2 3 4 5 CCCCL 6 7 8 9 L LL L 10 11 L L 12 13 14 A A A A C B1, A2 C2 B2 This means that Allie made shares consisting of pieces 1-5, 6-9, 10-14. Brenna's shares are pieces 1-9, 10-12, 13-14. Carson's shares are pieces 1-8, 9-11, and 12-14. a) Who gets which pieces of candy (just indicate the numbers)? b) What is the surplus?
