Another method for dividing objects among players is the method of taking turns. Taking turns is a process of dividing items between two players in which one player selects an item, then the other player selects an item, and so on. For example, heirs might use the method of taking turns to divide household items that are part of an inheritance. Reflecting on this method raises some interesting questions. How should the players decide who will go first? What advantages are there to going first? Should the player who does not go first receive extra compensation of some sort? When making a selection, should players always pick the object they most favor, or are there strategic reasons why they should not? For each of the following, explain how the method of taking turns could be applied fairly.
a. A bowl contains a variety of sweets such as sticks of gum, mints, lollipops, and candy bars.
b. A list of chores includes tasks such as emptying the dishwasher, washing the windows, grooming the dog, scrubbing the toilet, vacuuming the floor, dusting the tables, and mowing the lawn.
