It's got a nice, catchy name, "Tit for Tat" for the winning strategy in the Prisoner's Dilemma.
That's also how you run a cartel. As if it were multiple iterations of the Prisoner's Dilemma.
Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

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

Huh. Yeah, that makes total sense.

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

I think that they talked about the Monty Hall thing in Numb3rs.

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’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I feel like I've wandered into the Ocean's Eleven scheming room....

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Macy's also bought Bullock's, which became Macy's. I miss you and your cool dress section, Bullock's!

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.

I always got, "Let's make a deal!" as a kid due to my name being the same (slightly diff spelling) as Mr. Hall. Annoying.

No, Prisoner's Dilemma is you and your buddy have gotten pinched and are in separate boxes. If you both keep quiet, you'll walk, but if one of you squeals the other gets 10 years, and if you both talk you'll each get a couple of years.
