Three holy men (let’s call them Anselm, Benjamin, and Caspar) put little stock in material things; their only earthly possession is a small purse with a bit of gold dust. Each day they get together for the following bizarre bonding ritual: Each of them takes his purse and gives his gold away to the two others, in equal parts. For example, if Anselm has 4 ounces one day, he will give 2 ounces each to Benjamin and Caspar.
(a) If Anselm starts out with 6 ounces, Benjamin with 1 ounce, and Caspar with 2 ounces, find formulas for the amounts a(t), b(t), and c(t) each will have after tdistributions.
Hint: The vector , and will be useful.
(b) Who will have the most gold after one year, that is, after 365 distributions?
