Captain Salamander and his crew found 24 bars of gold and originally divided them evenly into 6 piles of 6 bars each. However, the Captain decided each crew member should receive a different amount: the Captain would get the most at 8 bars; Bert would get 2 fewer than the Captain, or 6 bars; Barry would get half of what the Captain received, or 4 bars; and Bill would get at least as much as Bert, also 6 bars, for a total distribution of 8 bars for the Captain, 6 bars each for Bert and Bill, and 4 bars for Barry.
