If you pick C, and your opponent picks B, you lose 58% of the time. What is optimal about that?
> If Gates had chosen first, then whichever die he chose, Buffett would have been able to find another die that could beat it (that is, one with more than a 50% chance of winning).
It seems like you're thinking about this outside of the relevant context, which is a math problem, loosely inspired by real life games.
