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?
