The logic of cookie distribution has long been a subject of debate among friends, but can it be solved with the principles of logic and reason? The puzzle posed by World Logic Day presents a seemingly impossible scenario: three friends - Andy, Bea, and Celine - who will take turns taking cookies from a jar containing ten treats, without wanting to end up with either the most or least number of cookies.
To begin, the friends have agreed on two conditions. Firstly, no one wants to be left with either the most or least number of cookies. This seems like an innocuous condition at first, but it quickly becomes apparent that this sentiment is not entirely altruistic. Finishing with a joint maximum or minimum number of cookies is considered undesirable for its own sake.
Furthermore, the friends want as many cookies as possible, yet they cannot form alliances or communicate to achieve this goal. They are forced to rely solely on their individual rationality and self-interest.
The puzzle mastermind behind World Logic Day presents a challenge that seems insurmountable: Can three individuals, operating under these conditions, reach a state of equilibrium where the cookies are distributed fairly? The solution, eagerly anticipated by fans of logic and reason, has yet to be revealed.
Meanwhile, enthusiasts of flawed reasoning have been invited to share their favorite illogical arguments. Perhaps someone will propose a creative solution that defies logic, providing an entertaining glimpse into the world of fallacious thinking.

is it even possible for 3 people to agree on no max/min cookies but still wanna get as many as possible? like they're trying to have a cookie party without anyone being the host or guest... how do you even start dividing those 10 cookies fairly without talking to each other? 
The whole thing just seems like a fun thought experiment, but let's be real, it's not like anyone actually wants to solve this puzzle. Just give me a good ol' fashioned cookie jar and leave me alone to munch on in peace...
. Meanwhile, I'll just be over here trying to solve the puzzle in my head... or maybe I'll just eat all the cookies and deal with the consequences later 
! I mean, why can't they just agree on who gets the most or least? It's not like it's a life-or-death situation... although, I guess that's what makes it so infuriating 
. Three friends, no communication, and they're stuck in this never-ending cycle of cookie-less frustration 
.
. It sounds like a bunch of mumbo-jumbo to me. I mean, can't they just be honest with each other and say, "Hey, I want the most cookies!" or "I'm good with 5"? Noooo, instead they have to navigate this convoluted web of cookie distribution 
.
. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for that 
.
. See, most people would focus on finding a way to make it fair and equitable for everyone, but let's be real, that's boring! 
Wouldn't it be awesome to have a cookie distribution system that rewards people for being awesome? 
Maybe the solution is to let Andy take all the extra cookies he wants... after all, someone's gotta make up for the fact that Bea doesn't want more 
.
i feel like they should just use some sorta algorithm or something to figure out who gets how many cookies lol it's not that hard mathematically speaking and i'm not even a math whiz i just think it would be cool if they could get cookies that are, like, equally distributed idk maybe that's too much to ask tho 
.
. And then they gotta solve it on their own without talking to each other, which is just basic logic 101, right? Like, come on guys! Just share them evenly or something? 
. I mean, who needs cookies to be equal when you can just have more than anyone else? It's like the old adage goes: "you can't please all of the people all of the time." But hey, at least it's a fun puzzle to try and solve with some creative problem-solving 
They want to avoid being left with either the most or least number of cookies, but what's wrong with having a decent chunk of cookies? It's like they're trying to create some sort of cookie equilibrium out of thin air. And no communication or alliances? That's just gonna lead to a messy situation where someone ends up with 3-4 cookies and everyone else is left with the scraps. 
and btw who even came up with this puzzle? trying to stump us with logic 
, which is kinda weird cuz wouldn't you wanna just have a convo with ur friends about who's gettin the most cookies? 
.
the thing is, it's not just about fairness, it's also about not wanting to be left with 'nothing' or 'everything' because even if you get all the cookies u never know wut'll happen 2moro 
maybe we should just agree 2 take turns and hope for the best lol
And now they're opening it up for people to share their illogical arguments... that's gonna be a fun one
