Found this fairly annoying - only because I went through this exercise recently, and now all the research i did has been made redundant.
I bought this book to help me out:
http://www.amazon.com/Fair-Division-Cake-Cutting-Dispute-Resolution/dp/0521556449/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398781523&sr=8-1&keywords=fair+division http://www.amazon.com/Fair-Division-Cake-Cutting-Dispute-Res...
It's a great book, though it didn't include exactly what i was looking for regarding this subject. I emailed one of the authors and he kindly pointed me in the direction of Sperner's Lemma:

and I was able to find:
http://www.math.hmc.edu/~su/fairdivision/calc/ http://www.math.hmc.edu/~su/fairdivision/calc/
Which is the same sort of calculator...
Anyway same end result...though i highly recommend the book above if anyone is interested in the subject.
