There are 11 dumplings on the plate. Each partner takes 2, without taking 3 and being rude, and they also don't leave the plate empty since there is only 1 left.
They can take 3 without being rude. They just can't take more than 3. Also the person who faces the last dumpling is forced to be rude since he either has to take the last dumpling or not take any, so he might as well take

I understand, I have a question, does the plate necessarily have to be left empty? Or can there be an equal amount for everyone + 1 extra left on the plate. It would not be completely empty and everyone could take an appropriate amount without being rude. For example, a plate with 13 dumplings, then it would be 3 for each.

Basically, no one wants to be the guy faced with the last dumpling.
You want to take as many as you can without ending up with the last one.
If you do end up with the last one, you'll take it. Since you have to be rude no matter what, might as well get that last dumpling.

Yes, that's what westerners do, but Chinese people like to order family style!
