>prisoner's dilemma
prisoner's dilemma!

Okay suppose you and the guy above you are taken to nintendo and you can get a free copy of the Nintendo NX before the public however theres a catch;
If you both want it you both will have to pay $500 and you both don't get an NX.
If one of you wants it and the other doesn't the person who wants it will get it while the other has to pay $1000.
If you both don't want it you can leave.

You don't know what the other person is thinking and can't communicate or see the other.

What do you do?

prisoner's dilemma!
>>
I will want it because I'm not a retard. It's the strictly superior option in both sutuations (the other does/doesn't want one).
>>
I don't want an NX.
>>
This isn't a proper prisoner's dilemma you fuck
>>
Want it.

If the other chooses "want" we both pay $500, which I can afford to lose(barely)

If the other chooses don't want, I win.

If I choose don't want and the other chooses want, I have to pay 1000, which is too much for me to spend

it follows the basic principle

Easy

Kill the Other guy

>>334350402
Risk the $500, sell the NX on ebay for tens of thousands.
>>
>>334350402
Well, for starters, I'd say I didn't want it, and then I'd file a claim to get the 1000 fine rejected because it's unlawful
>>
Why the fuck would I want one when there's no games out for it?
>>
>>334350763
The prisoners dilemma doesn't have a consequence if both people talk.
>>
>>334351903
>tens of thousands
of pennies

Are we trying to have a Zero escape thread or what?
>>
what sort of retarded fucking situation would I be in where those were my options?
>>
>>334350754
The only correct answer.
>>
dumb hypotheticals achieve nothing. Please delete this thread
>>
>>334352358
Yes it does, just a significantly reduced consequence. In the original scenario of going to prison if you both talk you'd both get 5 years of jail; if only one talks then the other person gets 20 years, for example

May's dilemma

You're given the choice of squeezing May's tiddies.

That's it.

>and you can get a free copy of the Nintendo NX before the public
Why would I pay $1000 for something that won't have any released games yet? And isn't $500 overpriced for an Nintendo console? This whole thing sounds like a huge scam.

>>334350754
>other
This, also you can sell it for 2000 on ebay, cause nintendofags are like that.

Always switch, it's been mathematically proven that you have a higher chance of winning if you switch.
