"I cut, you choose" is not a fair system if it's difficult to predict or control the cutting. Give the cutting task to your 4yo and then take the obviously big piece, or the one that has the larger, now-exposed, gooey center.
- wkirby 3y agoSounds fair to me, teach the 4 year old the consequences of unfair division --- that's the whole purpose of the exercise. The cutter _always_ has the ability to divide the whole in a way that will result in an unfair outcome: that's why the choice is given to the other party. The process is unfair when the division _and_ the choice is held by a single party.
