Cardiovascular Disease Mayo Clinic investigators have tracked coronary-heart-disease (CHD) mortality in Olmstead County, Minnesota, for the past 20 years[17]. Mayo Clinic physicians provided virtually all medical care to Olmstead County residents. Deaths from CHD were subdivided into those that occurred in hospital and those that occurred out of hospital. In-hospital death rates are thought to be influenced mainly by advances in medical care. Out-of-hospital death rates are thought to be influenced mainly by changes in risk-factor levels over time. For men, out-of-hospital CHD death rates were 280 cases per 100,000 men per year and in-hospital CHD death rates were 120 cases per 100,000 men per year in 1998. For women, out-of-hospital CHD death rates were 100 cases per 100,000 women per year; in-hospital CHD death rates were 40 cases per 100,000 women per year in 1998. The investigators reported that for both men and women, in hospital CHD death rates were declining at a rate of 5.3% per year, whereas out-of-hospital CHD death rates were declining by 1.8% per year. What is the expected overall CHD mortality rate in Olmstead County in 2015 if these trends continue?

Pam, Rob and Sam get a cake that is one-third chocolate, one-third vanilla, and one-third strawberry as shown below. They wish to fairly divide the cake using the lone chooser method. Pam likes strawberry twice as much as chocolate or vanilla. Rob only likes chocolate. Sam, the chooser, likes vanilla and strawberry twice as much as chocolate. In the first division, Pam cuts the strawberry piece off and lets Rob choose his favorite piece. Based on that, Rob chooses the chocolate and vanilla parts. Note: All cuts made to the cake shown below are vertical.Which is a second division that Rob would make of his share of the cake?
Three players (one divider and two choosers) are going to divide a cake fairly using the lone divider method. The divider cuts the cake into three slices (s1, s2, and s3).
If the choosers' declarations are Chooser 1: {s1 , s2} and Chooser 2: {s2 , s3}.
Using the lone-divider method, how many different fair divisions of this cake are possible?
