Well, I guess we would randomly determine someone to pick first, and we would
just take turns drawing an element off the table or whatever. Not everyone
would get everything they wanted, but at a minimum you'd get 1/n of the pieces
which would be what you contributed financially and the "winnings" would tend
to be the type that you were interested in.
Alternatively, each piece (or lot of pieces) could be 'auctioned.' The total
winning bids of each person would be tabulated and the percentage of all the
bids that each person was responsible for placing would be the percentage of
the total bill that each bidder was responsible for.
Has anyone out there ever done something like this?
