For some time now, I've wanted an answer to this question, and I get
a headache trying to figure it out alone. In fact, even posing the
question to other members in the group let me know how hard the
question's concept was. I hope anyone can answer this question for
me.
First off, I assume that we all are familiar with Bentham and
Utilitarianism. It will become apparent in a second why this is
needed.
Be Warned this question is confusing. The question takes on the
terms that is does for convience and simplicity.
I am speaking of piecepack coins only, from one standard piecepack.
Ethnicity is a suit or a number.
The problem is
What is the greatest number of coins can each ethnicity have, while
commiting the least fewest cases of ethnocide, using all coins?
(i.e the greatest good for the greatest number of ethnic groups)
Also, if anyone else understands this question, and can put it in
simpler terms, please feel free to do so.
