The Cactus Crossing Conundrum

The Cactus Crossing Conundrum is an ethical thought experiment where moral intuitions are represented as numbers between 0 and 100. Two villages, Smallville and Largeford, are separated by a 5-minute walk. They have ancient traditions where all people must meet monthly in one of the villages to carry out a ritual. However, a poisonous cactus patch lies on the only passable path between the villages, causing pain for 1 hour. The people of Smallville experience 3 times more pain from the poison than those of Largeford. The ethical question is, what percentage of months should the people of Smallville have to cross the cactus patch to get to Largeford? Assume population sizes don't change and there is no way to clear away the cactuses or avoid the poison.
