shouldn't be that hard, but I understand that 94% can't do it.
line up the apples, a line that will cut the first apple into 2/3 vs 1/3 will also cut the next apple in same proportion. 1 person gets the 2 sliced 1/3s
Stack the apples on top of each other, and proceed to do a single spiral cut down from the top stem, out towards the edge, and then back to the center in a single fluid motion. It won't solve the problem, but it'll look damn cool
Let's assume you can stack the apples, and passing through both is still 1 stroke. That means cutting through 10 could still be considered 1 stroke.
Stack the apples.
Cut entirely through the top one directly in half.
Continue cutting through the second one.
As you cut through it, one of the people takes the top apple, rotates it 60 degrees, and puts it under the bottom apple.
Finish cutting through the now top apple and continue cutting through the now bottom apple (the original top that was already in half).
Repeat this until you've cut each into 6 pieces like this (picture not mathematically accurate, for visual purposes only).
Give everyone 4 each.
nice!
Actually, if you can peel them both with o e stroke, you cwn make apple sauce and serve eqaul portions quite easily.
