"I am supposed at this point to find some actual problem which forces you to compute it out the long way, instead of complaining that you got the correct answer but you didn't get it the way I wanted, which I am not supposed to ever do.  But I don't have a workbook full of carefully composed problems like I would if this were a real lesson, unfortunately."

"If we were trying to figure out your marginal contribution to a more complicated economic situation, though, the particular people ahead of you in line might be important -"

"Actually, wait, I see how to build a problem that forces you to compute it a longer way.  Let's say there are three tokens with numbers that say 2, 3, and 5.  Bringing a group of tokens together gives the group a number of jellychips equal to the product of every number in the group, so if you had the tokens for 2 and 5 together, the group would receive 10 jellychips."

"What does this method say is the fair distribution to the holder of the 5 token, if three token-holders pool 2 and 3 and 5 to get 30 jellychips for the group?"

"You know, I should just give you a simpler problem that forces you to compute it the long way.  Let's say there are three tokens with numbers that say 2, 3, and 5.  Bringing a group of tokens together gives the group a number of jellychips equal to the product of every number in the group, so if you had the tokens for 2 and 5 together, the group would receive 10 jellychips."
