Create a 3x3 payoff matrix for a two person zero sum game (cannot be scissors, paper, rock)
A small tourist town has two Italian restaurants, Romano's and Giardino's. Normally both restaurants prosper with no advertising. Romano's could take some of
Giardino's customers by running radio ads, and Giardino's could do the same thing. The one-month profit matrix (showing payoffs in thousands of dollars) is:

(a) Use best response analysis to find any pure strategies Nash equilibrium in the static (one-month) game?
(b) If the game is repeated indefinitely, can the use of tit-for-tat strategies result in a Nash equilibrium?
(c) Does the game have multiple equilibria if it is repeated indefinitely?
(d) Would pre-play communication have implications for the repeated game equilibrium? Please explain both in the static version of the game, and also if
the game is repeated indefinitely.

Andersonville has two gas stations, Ralph's Qwik-Serv and Charlie's Gas-n-Go. Both Ralph and Charlie are considering raising prices by 1¢, staying with their current prices, or lowering prices by 1¢. If they both make the same choice, there will be no change in their market shares, but if they make different choices, the one with the lower price will gain 4% of the market for each penny difference in their prices.
