A king hires a knight to protect him. The king promises the knight that he will give the knight an equal cut of a gold bar for each day the king is served. The knight serves him for six days. The king makes only two cuts.
HOW DID HE DO IT??!1!!!

what the fuck do you mean by 'an equal cut', what's it equal to? Do you mean if he serves the king for 6 days each day he gets a sixth of a bar?

An equal cut of the gold bar over six days. So yeah, every day he gets a sixth of the bar. Not difficult to understand.
And he cuts the bar once after the first day to give him one days payment. Then the second day he cuts two more pieces off, gives him those and takes the one back so now the knight has two pieces of the bar. The third day he gives him the three that have not been cut yet and take the two back. The fourth he gives the knight the one piece back, so now he has the first piece that was cut and the three uncut pieces. The fifth day he takes the one piece back and gives him the two pieces he cut on the second day, so now the knight has the two pieces and the three that were left uncut. And one the last day he gets them all.
