Fruit Tree Yield and Sharing Study
by Eric Gonzalez-Payne

Estimate the crop, then decide who gets what.
The estimation is real maths involving sampling and scaling. The sharing is a genuine ethical question with no arithmetic answer, and putting the two next to each other is deliberate.
The page has the estimation method, the yield calculation, and a distribution proposal requiring a stated principle. Equal shares, need, contribution, and first come are all defensible and produce different outcomes. Students have to pick one and defend it, and the discussion is consistently one of the better ones in the whole set.
