I also tend to think that a fairer distribution is far less likely to get you killed.
within the parameters of the puzzle, I would offer to split the gold evenly between the four other pirates and take 4 gold for myself.
I'm greedy in the sense I want to stay alive as the oldest. that to me is the most important parameter.
I highly doubt a bloodthirsty pirate would be satisfied with only 1 gold, even if he is intelligent.
if i was bloodthirsty i can't imagine being willing to take only 1 gold for myself from a loot of 100 gold. even if i thought it might mean getting no gold instead.
