Proportional Resource Sharing
Three players start a Minecraft world and agree to share all resources equally. Player 1 collects 30 apples; Player 2 collects 18 apples; Player 3 collects no apples but instead provides 48 gold nuggets. The 48 gold nuggets are to be split between Player 1 and Player 2 in proportion to how many apples each contributed to Player 3.
