The Orcs' Learn to Share

A gang of six blue orcs had pillaged the home of a farmer and his wife on the outskirts of the kingdom of Rohan.  They had taken a wheel of cheese, half a gallon of ale, 19 kg of bacon, two thirds of a loaf of crusty bread and a small purse containing 2 gold pieces, 10 silver and 36 bronze.  The orcs have been arguing for some time over how to share this booty.  What would each orc's fair share be?

Nightwatch

There were seven members of the Fellowship of the Ring. Before entering the Mines of Moria, they agreed to share the guard duty in the following way: The hobbits Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin would each take an equal share. Aragorn, Boromir, Legolas and Gimli would each stand guard for twice as long as a hobbit. Gandalf, who could magically rid himself of fatigue, would stand guard for a time equal to the sum of the times of all the other members of the Fellowship. How long would each member take the watch in a 24 hour period.
