"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Is that the way it works on the actual TV game show too?

It's a theoretical problem.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Missionaries and cannibals I know.

It's got a nice, catchy name, "Tit for Tat" for the winning strategy in the Prisoner's Dilemma.

Unless the traveling salesman's car breaks down, which leads to the Farmer's Daughter scenario....
