Fascinating results from that course's game at the end. Seems to me I have read similar gloomy results when game theory ( one of the several topics that were just thrown out John von Neumann's brilliant mind along his world line) are applied to human behavior. I am no expert in game theory but I think I have read of a couple results that place us humans in pretty dismal positions as far as trying to determine our own fate. The humbling results of that game (prologue to real life trial by fire) probably made the course worthwhile.
Thanks for the early Monday reminder of our humble roots in dust.....all 4 Y's.........where does that leave the rest of the world with respect to the clash of civilizations now underway? Gawd Almighty!! I don't even want to know! <VBG>

is decide whether to say X or Y. Here's the pay-out matrix:

Isn't this the game where "tit for tat" is the best proven strategy?

There are more advanced versions of "tit for tat" now as discussed on FADG. Unfortunately the SI search facility will not pick them up. Too long ago.

ps opps. I was talking about "Prisoner's Dilemma". For only two players not four. Here is the last time it was mentioned.
