Does the sequence go N girls, N-1 cups? Or N number of girls sharing only 2 cups?

I need to know how this scales as the number of girls and cups grow larger.

I think N/2 would make the most sense

this stuff is so much easier to figure out with one man one jar

Under capitalism, every man gets a jar.

Under capitalism, nobody is given a jar; jars are "earned". One man owns the jar factory and most of the jars.

AFAIK it scales at a 2:1 ratio. n girls means n/2 cups.

So one girl, half a cup?

Well actually this is a discrete math thing, so if we let n be the number of girls, and f(n) be the number of cups, then f(n) = n/2, but only such that n = 2k, where k is an integer.
