EPTlogically its impossible, you cannot take a fifth of a number, leave 4/5-1 and then break up 4/5 into fifths and have it be equal to the original 1/5.
1/5X + 4/5X=X+1
where the 1 is to the monkey
you cannot then take out the 1/5X, leaving 4/5X, with the monkey also having one
then, with the 4/5X, subtract one, 4/5X -1 and divide it into five parts
going on this way you cannot have equal stacks in the end of each man takes his portion out at the time he separates them
if math and logic are true, math always says you cannot have negative length or negative objects :|
