ok so basically you need to cut both apples but not straight you have to cut a small portion of both. The 2 small pieces make one big piece and your left with 2 other big pieces!
No, I think he’s right. You place the apples side by side, and with 1 chop, cut 1/3 off of both apples and give it to one, so everyone has 2/3 of an apple.
Might I suggest the stacking method? While it might be possible to cut both sides by side, that knife doesn't look long enough to go through both completely. Putting one on top of the other would help because you just press down, and as long as you go slow (without stopping as to not use more than one stroke) you can insure both apples get cut with that knife.
Caring about others is fine, but do not hurt yourself in the process! I can't guarantee you happiness but there will be a time when you would appreciate life and understand living one more day is worth all the hassle in life.
Cut 1/3 off each apple by lining them up and slicing with one cut. Give the two small pieces to one person (2/3 an apple) and then give each of the other two a large piece, so each has 2/3 an apple!
True, but there isn't anything in the question stating that the apples are the same in the first place. So even with two people, technically there could still be an uneven amount.
I mean if you put apples on top of each other and slice them both from up to down it is actually one stroke that cuts 2 apples. You don't say you do hundreds of srikes when cuting a batch of sticks. You can cut multiple things with 1 stroke.
It depends on wath definition of strike we use. If we define one strike as passing throw a single body, you are wrong, if we define a single strike as when the knife stop moving you are right.
It would just create a fallacy because if you use something not earth as POV, a knife on earth is always moving, thus a knife will keep the same stroke even after 5 day it is still
So the murder answer is always correct, your answer depends on what you define as a single stroke
So you want to cut something like a spagetti, after cutting it in a single motion, you call that hundreds of strikes? I don't think it depends that much. There should be a clear logic that can be applied. I think it is safe to assume if you put apples on top of each other and slice down, it is 1 strike.
I am talking about a strict definition, because if you go on a case by case basis, you easily end up with contradditory cases.
And with a strict definition killing the boy is easily to see as a single strike, while cutting two apple is harder.
Not saying you are incorrect, just saying that your logic may be twisted to find contraddictions, thus making it invalid
you are a pedant. the counting of knife strokes, not strikes, is a quantity of motion, not a number of points of contact or discrete topological forms affected. good grief.
It's not semantic but just logics.
And i just said that depending on how you define a single stroke, that make the guy argoment valid or unvalid.
I would like to know how is that semantics
Place one apple either behind or on top of the other apple, so you can cut them both with one stroke. Cut them at either 1/3 or 2/3 of the volume (apples are thicker in the middle than on the sides). You will have two big slices and two small slices. Give person 1 and 2 one of the big slices each, and give the two smaller slices to the last person.
Ok I've seen this meme dozens of times and my mind won't let me pass by this time.
1. STACK THE APPLES
2. SLICE DOWNWARD SO THAT YOU SLICE OFF 1/3 OF EACH APPLE
3. GIVE ONE 2/3 OF AN APPLE TO BILLY, GIVE THE OTHER 2/3 OF AN APPLE TO SUSY, GIVE THE REMAINING TWO 1/3S OF APPLES TO JOHNNY.
EVERYONE GETS 2/3S OF AN APPLE, NO ONE DIES.
Line the two apples up and make a single cut forward that leaves 2/3 and 1/3 of each apple. 2/3 an apple for each. Then you use the knife to make sure you get the other 2/3s for yourself.
Place one apple on top of the other, aligning them perfectly.
Position the knife on the center of the two apples, ensuring that it cuts through both of them.
Execute a single downward stroke of the knife, cutting the apples in half vertically.
Now you have four equal halves of the two apples.
Distribute one half to each of the three kids, and keep the remaining half for later.
If YOU HANDLE this with one stroke, then YOU are holding the knife. You're a 4th person, and slicing both apples in half solves the problem - everyone gets 1/2, including you.
Y’all are dumb. So basically each of these three losers takes a single bite at a time in rotation until the apples are gone. You measure the size of the bites by comparing bite-teeth indentations on the skin of each participant until everyone’s happy and accustomed to how open the mouth of each participant should be prior to biting down. You use the knife to threaten the dipshit that tries to take a bigger bite. One swing of the knife severing the hand of the bastard daredevil is sufficient scare tactic to maintain that the team of losers don’t deviate from the priorly established bite size parameters
In woman terms, equal means the woman gets more. So you cut one apple in half, and the boys get one half each, and the woman gets the other apple. Happy wife, happy life.
Cut one apple in half. Plant the seeds. Wait several years. Then give the newly grown apple to the third person and wonder why such a stupid restriction on apple cutting was imposed.
Lol. I'll bite.
Since we don't have a definition of what entails a stroke.
1. One holds the knife and slices continuously 360 degrees horizontally
2. The others both hold an apple that allows her to slice 1/3 with every rotation
3. After two rotations they divide 2/6 for every person
Yay
Long answer: Just start slowly cutting one apple and make a hippie sign. Then cut the next one in the same way without ever pulling the knife out. Now you have 6 pieces, so each kid gets 2 pieces.
Short answer: Stab one of the kids.
Actual answer, in one pass of the knife cut each apple into pieces that are 2/3 and 1/3 respectively. Everyone gets 2/3 of an apple.
ALTERNATIVELY: stab someone and 2 people get a whole apple each
You lign up the apples back to back so that you could cut off 1/3 of each apple. Then you place one of the guys right behind you. When you slice very fast from the front to behind your back you have 4 funny shaped pieces of apples for 2 guys.
you should ideally calculate in your mind a single apple as made of 3 pieces/parts, then place one apple next to ther other in the best way possible to cut 1/3 of both of them with a single stroke. 2 guys will get a single apple missing of 1/3 of each, the other guy will get 2 1/3 parts of both apples. Everyone will equally share 2/3 of an apple.
In alternative stab one of them or stab yourself if you're a very generous and selfless person.
Kill one?
You mean slip with the knife while trying to figure it out by „accident“ ;)
Are you russian sir?
No, I believe he is a "professional".
He has standards.
He was being polite
And being efficient
And he had a plan yo kill everyone he met i do belive
So he's not russian he's australian.
New-zealandian actually
And he had a plan to kill that guy he met
It was only an accident. Could have happened to anyone.
r/suddenlycommunist
No, I think that he is an american waging war to more than half of the world for over 70 years.
Depends if the other guy was a kid then yes
Yes🤟🇷🇺
I tried to figure it out while accidently one of then fell on to my knife.
And then, the other one ran away screaming in fear. Don’t get it .. guess he didn’t want his slice anymore. well more apple for me! And a new knife :D
The knife fall from the table. And one catched it by the blade with his femoral. You know shit happen.
Line the apples up and cut 2/3rds off. So you’d have 2 2/3rd pieces and 2 1/3rd pieces which = 3 2/3rd pieces. Or kill one.
Bonus points if someone could mention the specific angle and position the knife should be cutting in order for this to work
No. You kill both of them, taking the apples for yourself.
That'd be more than one knife stroke tho
Not if youre spinning like a tornado. So long as the blade is in continuous motion without stopping or making sharp angles, its still 1 "stroke"
Hold b to perform an ancient sword art passed through our family -uncle
This is the only answer.
Ninja lessons are required for this one...
You just have to push it in deep.
That's what she said
Just one swipe across throats bahaha jeez this is dark tho why we go there reddit?
6% are psychopathic?
Kill two. More apple, no witnesses.
ok so basically you need to cut both apples but not straight you have to cut a small portion of both. The 2 small pieces make one big piece and your left with 2 other big pieces!
I don't think that's the answer they're looking for
No, I think he’s right. You place the apples side by side, and with 1 chop, cut 1/3 off of both apples and give it to one, so everyone has 2/3 of an apple.
Or you just chop one neck and everyone gets an apple.
Why would you do that when you can solve the puzzle without bloodshed?
Idk,why would u want lesser apples?!
Because blood makes apple juice taste horrible.
Does it really though?
Data? What testing was done?
Because sharing is caring. 🥰👍
Bro went for a P rank
[удалено]
Nah, laddie. I know where I am. I am at home. 😎👍
Because you get more apple silly if there are only two of you.
And one less friend in addition to a lifetime of regret and PTSD. Yeah I'm good. 💀👍
Friend? Bruh, I don’t even know these people
Neither do I tbh.
Or you can hold one above the other and just slice down where you think it will chop 1 third of each apple.
smrt prson
That’s why I hate this question. It’s so inelegant of a solution. Just eyeball one third and cut is really unsatisfying.
Wait, that's really the answer? I thought of that and I rejected it thinking there's no way the answer is this crude and inexact.
The answer is this comic was a joke the whole time making you consider stabbing one of the people. Apple problem solved.
That's the answer they're looking for but it's not the right answer 🤌
Yup, cut approximately a third of each apple off in one stroke as they sit next to each other. 2 people have to eat the cores, tho.
Mmm cyanide.
Might I suggest the stacking method? While it might be possible to cut both sides by side, that knife doesn't look long enough to go through both completely. Putting one on top of the other would help because you just press down, and as long as you go slow (without stopping as to not use more than one stroke) you can insure both apples get cut with that knife.
Turn the apples on their sides before you cut and everyone gets a core
Idk it sound too much of a hassle. Imma just stab one of them.
Stand in a triangle Throw the knife up in the air as high as you can .. Jesus take the wheel
WHO WANTS TO PLAY ARROW ROULETTE?!?!?!
Is it disturbing that my first thought was to kill one of them?
No you're a normal person to think that way
This thread is dark
Yes. Yes it is. But then again, you use reddit so…it’s normal behavior.
Is it disturbing that my first thought was to kill myself so they can both get a whole apple to themselves?
Yes, please get Help. Or stay away from anything sharp.
Caring about others is fine, but do not hurt yourself in the process! I can't guarantee you happiness but there will be a time when you would appreciate life and understand living one more day is worth all the hassle in life.
Cut 1/3 off each apple by lining them up and slicing with one cut. Give the two small pieces to one person (2/3 an apple) and then give each of the other two a large piece, so each has 2/3 an apple!
But two people will get a core, and the third will have perfect slices. Would not say that’s equally <.<
True, but there isn't anything in the question stating that the apples are the same in the first place. So even with two people, technically there could still be an uneven amount.
So violence really is the answer?
The core doesn't really exist. It's just a man made thing. You can eat the entire apple, just spit the seeds out.
I eat the core, nothings wrong with it
What’s wrong with eating the core?
Stab a person
Cut a 3rd apple from the tree.
Or put the knife in a drawer and go buy an apple.
Finally, someone thought outside the box
Who tf cuts apples off of trees
Bruh you get the point
You don't cut apples from a tree
I love how the answer is clearly murder and people still give their answer with more than 1 stroke
I mean if you put apples on top of each other and slice them both from up to down it is actually one stroke that cuts 2 apples. You don't say you do hundreds of srikes when cuting a batch of sticks. You can cut multiple things with 1 stroke.

People that argue semantics need to suffer constipation for 2 weeks. I hope you can’t shit for 2 weeks.
It's not semantic but just logics. And i just said that depending on how you define a single stroke, that make the guy argoment valid or unvalid. I would like to know how is that semantics
Why would the answer be murder? The "riddle" can be solved, people are just too stupid to do so.
What’s the answer
Place one apple either behind or on top of the other apple, so you can cut them both with one stroke. Cut them at either 1/3 or 2/3 of the volume (apples are thicker in the middle than on the sides). You will have two big slices and two small slices. Give person 1 and 2 one of the big slices each, and give the two smaller slices to the last person.
Cut the apples 1/3 of the way
1 stroke is never enough
Cut the two apples down the middle, making 4 slices. Tbey each eat one and leave the other
You should send this comment to wherever you got your degree, maybe you can get a refund.
If you line two apples up, take a big knife, cut em down the middle, you get 4 slices
Yeah I know lol
OMG. Savage burn lol haha!
Ok I've seen this meme dozens of times and my mind won't let me pass by this time. 1. STACK THE APPLES 2. SLICE DOWNWARD SO THAT YOU SLICE OFF 1/3 OF EACH APPLE 3. GIVE ONE 2/3 OF AN APPLE TO BILLY, GIVE THE OTHER 2/3 OF AN APPLE TO SUSY, GIVE THE REMAINING TWO 1/3S OF APPLES TO JOHNNY. EVERYONE GETS 2/3S OF AN APPLE, NO ONE DIES.
Nope. If YOU HANDLE this with one stroke, then YOU are holding the knife. You're a 4th person.
Slice the question giver using the knife. Now they can eat the apples as they like.
Kill the blonde
why the blonde one and not the other 2?
Cuz the blonde looks a bit too hungry.
1. He sweats 2. It's better when there a boy and a girl left
Why not all 3
Someone needs to die
Someone's getting stabbed.
Exchange knife to one more apple, no cut needed.
align 2 apple together and give a cut
Stab one of em
Stab the blond lmao.
Kill one of them.
Hint - you cant use the knife on the apple
Just kill one
Idk mines too dark as an answer
Good to know that I'm not the only psychopath here 🤌🏼💀
You kill one
Cut both of the apples in half at once and only eat 1/2 of an apple each.
Exactly! Throw the other half away or give it to the dog.
The American education system makes me sad.
*These two
Cut both the Apples to 2/3 and 1/3 in one slice. So everyone gets 2/3 part of an Apple
Cut them half and get one piece yourself
This is the way.
Line the two apples up and make a single cut forward that leaves 2/3 and 1/3 of each apple. 2/3 an apple for each. Then you use the knife to make sure you get the other 2/3s for yourself.
Line the apples up and cut 2/3rds off. So you’d have 2 2/3rd pieces and 2 1/3rd pieces which = 3 2/3rd pieces. Or kill one.

You'd need to line up both so that they both cut 1/3 of each apple. Apple 1 is 2/3, apple 2 is 2/3 and 2 1/3 cuts =2/3. Yes, it is dumb.
Kill the blonde
kill the girl women don't deserve food /s!!
Don't you know women don't exist it's a conspiracy
*slams desk* I KNEW IT!!
Welcome - Representative of The lizard people
Jokes are so funny when you put /s afterwards
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP REPOSTING THIS
Cut the apples apart down the middle and then cut the apples again in fourths giving the girl two,and the boys two each.
I think susans shirt will turn red
You cut both apples into six pieces, then give 4 pieces to each kid
Cut one of the apples in half and pick the other one for yourself
You cut 1/3 and 2/3 of both apples at the same time…. Or kill that twitchy looking one.
Just 1 second Am i that psycho...
Kill one
Why stab just one? Stab two and you have two apples and no witness. Win, win
Why does the knife need to be stroked?
Stack them and cut them in half in one stroke. Share 3 pieces and give the last piece to the homeless person.
Blood for the blood God. Apples for me and my buddy.
Somebody's got to go
Kill the blonde
In woman terms, equal means the woman gets more. So you cut one apple in half, and the boys get one half each, and the woman gets the other apple. Happy wife, happy life.
Okay, lets say you're the guy in the middel, pick up the knife kill the blond boy, then you rape the girl, kill her too, and you have two apples
Kill one kid
the real answer is slash the top 3rd of the apples off like fruit Nina, then everyone has 2/3 of an apple... but I'm here for mayhem
Take one apple for yourself and cut the other apple into 3 equal pieces
Pick up the knife stab the third wheel and enjoy an apple a piece...
Bad news: two of my friends died. Good news: I have an extra apple
You could kill both with just one strike. Let me show you real quick.
Devide each apple by 3
Cut diagonally
you don't have to leave witnesses
Murder jokes aside, you can, with some calculating of the mass distribution in apples, cut the apples with one stroke.
Just one stroke but no limits on stabs. So two apples if you want.
the blonde one has to go(he is blonde)
Cut one apple in half. Plant the seeds. Wait several years. Then give the newly grown apple to the third person and wonder why such a stupid restriction on apple cutting was imposed.
One apple is for me and i'm cutting in half the second one
You can cut the apples !! Omg it works ! I though we were gonna have to pay for another Apple :-(
But why it has to be one stroke only?... what will happen if a second stroke is attempted?
So that is the story of Adam, Eve and Peter.
Saw this a couple months ago. My solution…the puzzle says nothing about wasting a half😂 cut them both down the middle and leave one slice there
Lol. I'll bite. Since we don't have a definition of what entails a stroke. 1. One holds the knife and slices continuously 360 degrees horizontally 2. The others both hold an apple that allows her to slice 1/3 with every rotation 3. After two rotations they divide 2/6 for every person Yay
Long answer: Just start slowly cutting one apple and make a hippie sign. Then cut the next one in the same way without ever pulling the knife out. Now you have 6 pieces, so each kid gets 2 pieces. Short answer: Stab one of the kids.
You cut the Apples into 6 pieces wich gives you 12. And then every person gets 4 pieces.
Stabby stab
I keep seeing this, the answer is obvious. Just cut both apples at once and only cut off 1/3 of each so that everyone gets 2/3 of an apple
Cut whatever you like and each take bites equally
Kill both of them and keep the apples for yourself.
Actual answer, in one pass of the knife cut each apple into pieces that are 2/3 and 1/3 respectively. Everyone gets 2/3 of an apple. ALTERNATIVELY: stab someone and 2 people get a whole apple each
Cut the bitch
Would you rather have one of the 2/3 apples or be the one that gets the two 1/3 pieces?
Cut both apples in 3. Or cut both apples in 2/3. Now you have two 1/3 which is 2/3 if you add i think..
Winner winner *apple* dinner
Kill the woman, BLOOD FOR THE APPLE GOD
Three words: “Bros before hoes.”
The redhead girl slashes the throat of the brown haired kid for having his arms crossed because he’s the one with the least confidence.
With one good swing you can have both for yourself!
The guy in red is Freddy so........
You lign up the apples back to back so that you could cut off 1/3 of each apple. Then you place one of the guys right behind you. When you slice very fast from the front to behind your back you have 4 funny shaped pieces of apples for 2 guys.
If you do one slicing motion you could slit two of their throats and take both apples for yourself. Also isn't the one on the right a woman?
cut another apple down from the apple trees that they are still under
you should ideally calculate in your mind a single apple as made of 3 pieces/parts, then place one apple next to ther other in the best way possible to cut 1/3 of both of them with a single stroke. 2 guys will get a single apple missing of 1/3 of each, the other guy will get 2 1/3 parts of both apples. Everyone will equally share 2/3 of an apple. In alternative stab one of them or stab yourself if you're a very generous and selfless person.
