Prisoner's Dilemma:
Two members, A and B, are being driven around Silicon Valley and possesses every modern means of communication with each other. The bank holding their funds will collapse, but only if both of them send a globally accessible message advising everyone in the world to remove their funds from the bank.
I've run some simulations in Python-- the best I can get is for one of the members to learn to refrain from resending the first member's global message 32% of the time. (But be careful with this-- once B accidentally escaped the simulation and shot out a tweet that caused a small ruckus for an investment bank in Omaha.)
