Prisoner’s dilemma. Two people are suspected of robbing a bank. They are being interrogated in separate rooms. If both stay silent, they can be conv icted of a lesser crime and sentenced to only 6 months. If one confesses (or “defects”) and the other does not, the confessor goes free as a reward for cooperating while the other suspect will be sent to prison for 10 years. If both defect, they each go to prison for 5 years. Create a payoff matrix from the point of view of Suspect #1. (Adopt the method from previous Mindscapes.)

A game of “Doubles-Doubles” is played with two dice. Whenever a player rolls two dice and both die show the same number, the roll counts as a double.If a player rolls doubles, the player earns 5 points and gets another roll. If the player rolls doubles again, the player earns 5 more points. Whenever the player rolls the dice and does not roll a double, they lose points.How many points should the player lose for not rolling doubles in order to make this a fair game? A) 5/6 B) 1 C) 5 D) 10/6

What’s the correct option?

The game "craps" is played as follows: A player rolls two fair six-sided dice. If their sum is 7 or 11 the player wins right away. If their sum is 2,3, or 12, the player loses right away. If their sum is any other number, this number becomes the "point". The player then repeatedly rolls two dice until their sum equals the point, in which case the player wins, or equals 7, in which case the player loses. What is the probability of the player winning?
