What should I say to Robinson to avoid being eaten?

Smidge and Karlsson were each given the same pie. Karlsson started eating his pie one minute later than Smidge, and two minutes after that it turned out that Karlsson had already eaten as much as Smidge had left to eat. Prove that if Smidge and Karlsson had eaten the same pie together, they would have managed it in less than three minutes.

The monkey and the coconuts

Five men and a monkey were shipwrecked on an island. They spent the first day gathering coconuts. During the night, one man woke up and decided to take his share of the coconuts. He divided them into five piles. One coconut was left over so he gave it to the monkey, then hid his share, put the rest back together, and went back to sleep.

Soon a second man woke up and did the same thing. After dividing the coconuts into five piles, one coconut was left over which he gave to the monkey. He then hid his share, put the rest back together, and went back to bed. The third, fourth, and fifth man followed exactly the same procedure. The next morning, after they all woke up, they divided the remaining coconuts into five equal shares. This time no coconuts were left over.

How many coconuts were there in the original pile?

Rabbit, getting ready for his guests, hung a light bulb in the three corners of his polygonal hole. When Winnie the Pooh and Piglet came to him, they saw that not all the pots of honey were lit. When they reached for the honey, two of the light bulbs broke. Rabbit moved the remaining bulb to a certain corner so that the whole burrow was illuminated.

The fox and the two little bears share 100 candies. The fox divides the candy into three piles; the lot determines who gets which. The fox knows that if the cubs get different amounts of candy, they will ask her to equalize their piles, and then she will take the excess for herself. Then everyone eats the candy they get.

1) Think of a way for the fox to put the candy in piles so that she eats exactly 80 candies (no more, no less).
2) Can the fox make it so that she eats exactly 65 candies?
