4 players (Ale, Boris, Cate, David) are on the reality show. The prize is 4 gold coins. Each coin cannot be divided into perts, so player can only win some integer number of coins. In the first stage Alex offer some sharing of 4 coins to players (for Cx., 3 21 0). If strictly more than a half of players (accounting for the proposcr) vote for this sharing then game ends and cach player takes the number of coins as in the offer. If a half of players or more vote against the sharing then Alex leave the island with O coins and then Boris offers a sharing of 4 coins across the rest 3 players and so on. If only David will survive, he will gain all 4 coins. Note0: player's payoff is equal to the number of coins he gets Notel: if some player in some vote is indifferent about the vote, he will vote against a sharing.

1. Solve the game with backward induction. What will be Alex optimal behavior?
![4 players (Alax, Boris, Cate, David) are on the reality show. The
prize is 4 gold coins. Each coin cannot be divided into perts, so
player can only win some integer number of coins.
In the first stage Alex offer some sharing of 4 coins to players (for
