Fair division
Fair division, also known as the cake cutting problem, is the problem of dividing a resource in such a way that each recipient believes they have received their fair share. The problem is hard because each recipient may have a different measure of value of the resource: in the "cake cutting" version, one recipient may like marzipan, another like cherries, and so on.
