For larger S the game becomes progressively more difficult to analyze. For S = 12, it can be shown that (2, 4, 6) represents the optimal strategy, while for S > 12, deterministic strategies fail to be optimal. For S = 13, choosing (3, 5, 5), (3, 3, 7) and (1, 5, 7) with probability 1/3 each can be shown to be the optimal probabilistic strategy.
2. Read Part One and Part Two as preparation for your workshop, perhaps making notes as you read. When you've finished, set aside three hours and write your answers to the questions in Part Three. Whatever your choice, enjoy the journey! THE TURNING POINT The idea started on New Year’s Day in 1980, when my boyfriend (now my
For a game that ends after four rounds, this reasoning proceeds as follows. If we were to reach the last round of the game, Player 2 would do better by choosing d instead of r, receiving 4 coins instead of 3. However, given that 2 will choose d, 1 should choose D in the second to last round, receiving
