We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

grrr... ok here we go.

[B] [B] [A] <-- pills you start with

[1/2B] [1/2B] [1/2A]
[1/2B] [1/2B] [1/2A] <-- the 2 piles you get when you cut them in half (making sure to separate the "top" halves from the "bottom" halves)

[1/2B] [1/2B] [1/2A] [1/2A]
[1/2B] [1/2B] [1/2A] [1/2A] <--- cut a new [A] in half and add one half to each pile

[1/2B] [1/2B] [1/2A] [1/2A] = [A][B]
[1/2B] [1/2B] [1/2A] [1/2A] = [A][B]

By doing this you ensure that you only end up with one A and one B per pile.
