 In this video, we provide the solution to question number seven for practice exam number two for math 1030 In which case you have five players. We'll just call them a bcd and e they have they are going to divide up 20 items using the method of markers We see that their bids are placed here. So there's a line 1 through 10 and wraps around here 11 through 20 And so we have to figure out which items are allocated to player a here So let's just go through the game and see what happens. So starting from the left The very first bid is C. So that's C1 there. So C is going to be given items 1 2 and 3 Okay, so then we have to look for that. So we're not going to look at any more C's in consideration anymore Ignore the C's so now we're going to look for who's the next second bid there So coming over here, you're going to get player 2 or player e. That's their second bid e1 is right here. So e is Going to get these items right here That's five six seven and eight Notice that Four here item four is an extra item. Okay, so we don't consider any more e's going forward All right, so now we're going to look for the leftmost Third marker of anyone that appears to be D right here D is the next one here. So D then goes back up to this one right here So D is going to get these items right here 11 12 and 13 Which means that item 9 and item 10 are also extra items here So D is now removed from consideration. So the last one let's see we haven't I guess we have two more left We have a and B So now we're going to look for the fourth marker the left fourth most marker is going to be B right here So B is going to go from here to here. So items 15 through 17 will be allocated to B Item 14 is also extra And so lastly we then get if we then find the last Marker for a which is right here. And so a is going to go all the way to the end So a is going to be allocated items 19 and 20 18 is also an extra item here. So a is going to get 19 through 20 for which if we see here choice E is exactly that Items 19 and 20. So the correct answer would then be E
