Monday Math Quiz
Here we go again... the Monday Math Quizzine for your pleasure:
You've got someone working for you for seven days and a gold bar to pay them with. The gold bar is segmented into seven connected pieces. You must pay them one piece of gold at the end of every day. If you are only allowed to make two breaks in the gold bar, how do you pay your worker?
Good luck and have fun!!

I cheated and looked online. Now I feel like an ass for cheating. You could always post a Tuesday Math Quiz, which I would promise to give my full, honest attention.
Or you could punish me by not.

I think people need a hint, so I'll give one. (Sorry buddy, I'm taking over.)
The employee had better not spend any gold until after the 7th day.
Come on, Grend31. Think!

Yes, this puzzle is based on the premise that the employee still has their pay "in-hand" at the end of each day...
