A mathematical problem
Persons A, B and C share a kingsized bed.
Person A is 5'6" tall and weighs about 132lbs.
Person B is 16" long and weighs about 11lb.
Person C is 15" long and weighs about 9lbs.
Person A paid for the bed and deals with all the laundry associated with the bed.
Person C randomly attacks persons A and B if they move suddenly in the dark.
Person A seems to end up with less than 20% of the available bed space.
How much space in the bed should person A get and why? Please show workings and any assumptions.

First of all, I love that the only label that appears on any of these posts is "bleeding pests."
Person A should get as much of the bed as she wants, and should consider employing a trundle board to achieve the desired effect.
Yeah - I'm going to have to post something nice about them at some point.
What's a trundle board?
If i knew how to leave links in comments I would do so for you, but I'm an ijit, so I can't.
A trundle board is a device from colonial America. Back in the day it was not uncommon for male farmhands, apprentices, or even suiters of the family's eligible daughter to spend the night. But back then most families only had 1 bed. So the man of the house would install a trundle board, a wooden plank the length of the bed, often with a zig-zag pattern carved along one edge. It was placed in the bed on the long, narrow edge, and effectively divided off a section of the bed for the visitor and discouraged any untoward hanky-panky.
Basically a wall in the bed underneath the covers.
but I want hanky panky. Or at least something warm to snuggle. But without being pushed out of bed every night.
Person A should learn to employ the 'scoop and toss' method - they have been tested, and found to be submissive.
After one-to-several deft ejections, Persons B and C should be better versed in their place on the evolutionary ladder.
