Division

We had some mini-cinnamon rolls from Costco, and there were enough left for each of us to have one after dinner. When we went to eat them, Emmett announced that he was going to have his tomorrow, so he'd be able to have one when Luke didn't. (thanks, kid!) Upon hearing that, Luke decided to just eat half tonight, and save the other half for tomorrow.

Later in the evening, Luke told me he wanted to eat 1/4 of the roll tomorrow, and 1/8 for the next two days.

Thus baited, I suggested that instead, he should eat 1/16 on the next day, and 1/32 on the next day, each day cutting it in half so he'd never ever run out! He thought never running out sounded great, though Emmett pointed out to him that the pieces would get very tiny, very fast.
