I'll bite.
I guess that the odd player can always choose 1. In that case he can either win 3 or lose 2. Making that the favorable choice for the odd player.
Even player could always choose 2 in which case he can either win 4 or lose 3. Making this the favorable choice for the even player.
However, if both players play their favorable choice, odd player always wins: 2 + 1 = 3.
I'm not sure if I got this right, but that's my thinking so far...
- drblast 13y agoHere's a hint; is there a strategy one player can play such that no matter what the other player does, the first will win money on average?
