🪓 Gold Bar Cut Puzzle
The puzzle from ISSUE-420 ↗️
To pay the worker 1/7th of a gold bar each day for seven days with the minimum number of cuts, you need to make 2 cuts. Here’s how you do it:

1. Cut the gold bar into three pieces: one piece of 1/7, one piece of 2/7, and one piece of 4/7.
2. Pay the worker as follows:
- Day 1: Give the 1/7 piece.
- Day 2: Take back the 1/7 piece and give the 2/7 piece.
- Day 3: Give the 1/7 piece back, so now the worker has 1/7 + 2/7 = 3/7.
- Day 4: Take back the 1/7 and 2/7 pieces and give the 4/7 piece.
- Day 5: Give the 1/7 piece back, so now the worker has 4/7 + 1/7 = 5/7.
- Day 6: Take back the 1/7 piece and give the 2/7 piece, so now the worker has 4/7 + 2/7 = 6/7.
- Day 7: Give the 1/7 piece back, so now the worker has 4/7 + 2/7 + 1/7 = 7/7, or the whole bar.

Thus, with 2 cuts, you can ensure that the worker receives 1/7 of the gold bar each day.
