3. Two players, High and Low, play the following game on the "board" shown below. They place a coin on the top node, and then they take turns to move the coin one node downward until the coin arrives at one of the sixteen terminal nodes. High's goal is that the game ends with the coin at a node with as high a value as possible, while Low's aim is that the target node has as low a value as possible. Assuming that both of them play optimally, what is the outcome (the value of the last node) of the game if: (a) High starts? (b) Low starts? A 1 14 7 12 3 16 6 10 2 13 4 11 5 15 8 9
