At the table are you, your roommate, and two stacks of pancakes, of height m and n. You and she, in turn, must eat from the larger stack a non-zero multiple of the number of pancakes in the smaller stack. The bottom pancake of each stack is soggy, and thus whoever first finishes a stack is the loser.

Polynomial Time

The problems for which the deterministic polynomial-time algorithm exists belong to the complexity class (p) and it is central in the field of computational complexity theory. According to Cobham’s thesis, polynomial time is a synonym for “feasible”, “fast”, and “efficient”.
