Extract

It is well known that if two people wish to share a cake fairly then one cuts it into two pieces and the other person chooses which of the pieces to have. This article considers the problem of sharing the cake fairly when there are more than two people. We are looking for procedures which ensure justice for an honest person even when there is dishonest collusion by the other people.
