    You position the apple so that cutting a straight line across both apples removed 1/3 of each apple so there are 2- 2/3 piece of apples and 2-1/3 pieces so everyone gets 2/3 of an apple. This is basic math and logic

      Yeah, but it does not occur to me easily. Because in practice, I would not be able to guess where to cut a sphere to get exactly 1/3. And that is without taking the core into account…

      So my brain initially discarded that option without thinking about it.

        Its still the best option, you just have tk be close enough sk that everyones piece is +- 5% most people wont be down for the other option unless one of the participants is c-suite or a billionaire.

      Basic math sure. Basic logic would be that cutting a third of two apples in the same cut is the most possible effort for no benefit.
