Three kids, Holly, Harvey, and Hanna, must share a candy bar. For each of the following scenarios, describe the steps in a fair division of the candy bar using the last-diminisher method.

a. Holly makes the first cut. Harvey feels the portion is less than a fair share, so he does not make any cuts. Hanna also feels the portion is less than a fair share, so she does not make any cuts.

b. Holly makes the first cut. Harvey feels the portion is less than a fair share, so he does not make any cuts. Hanna thinks the portion is too big, so she trims the piece.

c. Holly makes the first cut. Harvey feels the portion is too big, so he trims the piece. Hanna thinks the portion left after Harvey has trimmed it is less than a fair share, so she does not make any cuts.

d. Holly makes the first cut. Harvey trims the piece and Hanna trims the piece again.
