Adjusted winner, invented by Steven Brams and Alan Taylor, is a procedure 
for dividing (divisible) goods fairly between two individuals. In this 
talk, I will present this algorithm and discuss some recent results. In 
particular, a geometric approach is introduced which allows us to give 
alternate proofs of some of the Brams-Taylor results and which gives some 
hope for understanding the many-agent case. This is joint with Samer 
Salame and Rohit Parikh.
