Sorry, Still Clear As Mud

The third sentence produces confusion for me. "Thus cutting a cake, where taking a larger piece reduces the amount of cake available for others, is a zero-sum game if all participants value each unit of cake equally." Based on the first 2 sentences it seems it shouldn't matter what size piece of cake is taken, whether "larger" or "smaller." In fact, it shouldn't matter what size piece of cake anybody takes, whether the cake is pre-cut or not, in order to illustrate the zero-sum game concept as explained in the first 2 sentences. Just for my own edification, would splitting up all the restaurant tips at the end of the night be an example of a zero-sum game? Thank you. Cybersecurityczar (talk) 11:12, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
