The pirates would get nothing because a ninja swoops in and steals it all. After all, ninjas ARE cooler than pirates!

Seriously, I'll try to reason things out :

Since what the pirates value the most is their own lives. To survive Pirate 1 would have to sacrifice money for his life so he'd propose :

1 - 0
2 - 0
3 - 0
4 - 50
5 - 50

4 would accept the offer because it's the most he can pull out of the deal and so would 5, 3 and 4 would of course refuse and pirate 1 would approve of his own proposal.

The bolded statement is right. But the problem only has one solution, and that's not it.

EDIT: Just noticed the first bolded statement and... you win! I like pirates, but I freakin LOVE ninjas (the answer is still not right though...)
