Bar of Gold

[Tiberius]

Would this involve having the worker break the bar? Like if you broke it once with 2 pieces still attached, hand it to the worker and he breaks that in two and hands one back?

Some trickery like that?

No. To put it another way, the bar can only be broken into three pieces...ever. You have to work out a payment plan over 7 days so that you give him the same rate of gold a day.

I'm not sure what counts as a break, so this may not be legal.

A-B-C-D-E-F-G

first you rip out D and you are left with A-B-C and E-F-G and then you put them on top of each other

A-B-C
E-F-G

then you remove B and F

No. That would involve two breaks for D's removal (breaking CD and DE connections), and then another 2 for B, and another 2 for F.

You are only allowed 2 breaks (not "removals").
