Alice and Bob went walking in the desert.
Alice had two gallons of water and Bob had three gallons.
They met Charlie who had no water at all and they all (Alice, Bob, and Charlie) shared the five gallons of water evenly.
As a token of his gratitude, Charlie gave them five gold coins.
What is the fair way to split these five coins?

Alice has 6/3 gallons of water. Bob has 9/3 gallons of water.
After sharing the five gallons of water evenly,
Alice has given Charlie 1/3 gallons of water and Bob has given him 4/3 gallons of water.
As such, I believe Alice should get
1 gold coin
and Bob
the other four - the effective trade is 1 gold coin for 1/3 gallons of water, here.
