choosing steal is the dominant strategy in a prisoners dilemma. it is not foolish it is the correct strategy.

  In a prisoners dilemma maybe, but as others have pointed out - this show is not a good example for one.

    I think this game is actually pretty close to a prisoner's dilemma. Why wouldn't you choose steal if you've managed to convince someone to choose split? If they didn't chose split, you'd still lose anyway.

      The main difference is that in the prisoner's dilemma, you don't get to talk and try to persuade your fellow prisoner.
