Divide the cake
A farmer dies and leaves behind some property to be inherited by his two sons. The property consists of many small patches of land.
The brothers have not been able to reach a fair division. They have also rejected the various divisions, suggested by the village elders. Every time one of the brother would find fault with the division and would walk away.
Now the village headman nominates you to find an amicable solution.
How are you going to do an equitable distribution?

Deliberate practice improves our success in an interview
Practice is the act of carrying out an activity again and again, to gain mastery over an activity. Psychologist Professor Anders Ericsson coined the term deliberate practice. Talent is important but it is the deliberate practice which makes an ordinary man into extra-ordinary person.
Deliberate practice is purposeful and systematic. You need to have a specific goal, stay focussed, avoid distractions, follow a regular practice schedule, and step up the game in terms of tougher challenges, enable correct feedback to build and gain mastery. Breaking down a task and improving small chunks through regular practice with immediate and correct feedback helps hone the expertise. Deliberate practice is learning by doing and stepping into an uncomfortable zone.
