3.) CHALLENGE: You discover a piece of art that you believe may be an original de Kooning, with 10% probability. If it is, it will be worth around $100mm. There is a 60% chance it was painted by a lesser expressionist, and so would be worth $12mm. There is a 30% chance it was painted by an art student, and so would be worthless. How much should you pay for an option to buy the work for $10mm? (Adapted from a SIG Interview question)
