Bill Gasarch (the newest member of math-fun) and his collaborators have written an extremely detailed (though not complete) analysis of Alan Frank's muffin problem: https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.02452 There was lots of traffic regarding the muffin problem back in 2009, which I compiled into a document I call the "Muffin Files" back in 2013, featuring emails from Dan Asimov, Veit Elser, Erich Friedman, Bill Gosper, Stephen Gray, Scott Huddleston, Michael Kleber, Andy Latto, Gareth McCaughan, Victor Miller, David Moulton, James Propp, Michael Reid, Tom Rokicki, Rich Schroeppel, and David Wilson. Would anyone object to me sharing this file with Bill? Thanks, Jim
