The Prisoner’s Dilemma

June 2, 2009 @ 9:34 pm

I’ve never watched Golden Balls before, but apparently the British game show makes use of a particular game theory known as the Prisoner’s Dilemma in which each contestant must choose independently of each other whether they want to split a large sum, steal a large sum, or risk losing all for the sake of the game. I’ll probably do a bang-up job of describing it, so I recommend watching the video above if you don’t understand the situation.

Man, talk about backstabbing and an increased heart rate! Thanks for this interesting video Clarence!
