| Dec 29, 2022 at 23:57 | comment | added | hedgedandlevered | otherwise you can pick any solution that's like "pass this thing around that you can't see what its state is, change it without looking if you don't want dessert, check the state at the end" the difficulty comes from you being able to observe whats happened so far, right? | |
| Dec 29, 2022 at 23:56 | comment | added | hedgedandlevered | There are so many easy solutions if you let people do things without looking. Is that your intent? Thought that was kind of the point of the puzzle, at least the person taking an action is looking at what they're doing | |

| Dec 29, 2022 at 8:37 | comment | added | Ivo | I fail to see how the question solves the situation described in the story. The story seems to be only about not wanting dessert when they are the only one. The question doesn't answer whether there are 2 or more, only whether all of them want it | |

| Dec 26, 2022 at 23:27 | comment | added | xnor | It it ok if some subset of participants could later get together and combine information they received during the protocol to determine others' votes, as long as each one couldn't learn anything on their own? | |
| Dec 26, 2022 at 22:56 | comment | added | Mark Green | Perhaps so? The difficulty is the set-up. For example, I did get the idea that you could have a system where each person was given a jar of liquid, and independently either poured their jar into a common tank which is out of sight or did not do so. If the vote is not unanimous nothing happens and no-one can see the tank level, but if the vote is unanimous the tank overflows out of the pouring hole. But then afterwards someone would have to drain the tank for the next vote, and if that person's not external, now they know if there was any water in it.. | |
