Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Traveling Salesman is no fun at all AFAIC.

That's also how you run a cartel. As if it were multiple iterations of the Prisoner's Dilemma.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I learned about the Monty Hall game in the 21 movie.

And now I have NO idea what you're talking about at all.
Prisoner's Dilemma is the scenario where one guard always lies, one always tells the truth, one door leads to certain death, and one door leads to freedom, and you are only allowed to ask one guard one question, right? t edit And you don't know which guard is which. Or which door is which.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I learned about the Monty Hall game in the 21 movie.
I learned about it in math class my freshman year of college. That was a great class.
Prisoner's Dilemma is the one where you have to decide whether to inform on someone, I think.
