wishing well and such
two people - let's say a husband and wife - pull on opposite sides of a wishbone. each comes away with a bone segment but the middle section somehow detaches and drops to the floor, belonging to no one. assuming one party's segment was slightly larger than the other, whose wish gets granted? the longer piece? neither person? both people? the floor?
Comments
I would say the one with the longest piece in hand

I'd vote for whoever grabs it off the floor first.

Answer: The husband's wish is that the wife's wish will be granted, so either way the wife wins.
