- edmundsauto 7y agoHaha I remember my dad teaching me this term during sports teams tryouts, the kinds where you would be drafted onto a team at the start of the year. I was a decent player, but definitely did not try my hardest during tryouts -- if I had, I would have been the worst "first pick", making my team bad. Game theory to 9 year olds?
