Stromquist moving-knives procedure

The Stromquist moving-knives procedure is a procedure for envy-free cake-cutting among three players.

It requires four knives but only two cuts, so each player receives a single connected piece. There is no natural generalization to more than three players which divides the cake without extra cuts. The resulting partition is not nece...
