I'm googling "game theory" + "strategy" + "money" (-card -cards -blackjack... to eliminate lots of typical card game matches) and so far found this interesting site: Ok, well let's say I want to make a bunch of money easily. So I think of a tactic that has been successful in the past: a pyramid scheme (I ask people to pay me 1 to 100 dollars, and double their money back. Some people take the small chance on sending a dollar and indeed I pay them two. Eventually word spreads that it works and people pay a hundred. I pay them 200, but eventually stop paying people and disappear without a trace etc.) Ok, so a counter tactic played by lawyers I guess, is to make pyramid schemes illegal, and also to encryp exactly what is legal/illegal in lawyer jargon. So my counter-counter tactic would be to make a new evolved version of a pyramid scheme that has not been declared illegal yet (or some other tactic). Well given that there are no current laws regarding my latest tactic, would I have to endure lengthy court sessions etc, or would they simply make a new law and let me off the hook since what I did was not explicitly illegal at the time? |

Wow... I just found a briefcase full of money hidden in some bushes... jesus christ... there's like millions of dollars in here. I wonder if it's counterfit. Well this simplifies things a lot and I am no longer interested in creating a new form of pyramid scheme. Thanks for your help anyway. |

Larry, Mo and Curly have undertaken a three-way duel. There will be two rounds. In the first round, each player gets one shot - first Larry, then Mo, then Curly. At the end of the first round, each survivor gets a second shot, in the same order. Larry is a poor shot, with a 30 percent success rate. Mo is better: he hits 50 percent. Curly never misses. What should Larry do? The answer is that he should shoot into the air. By wasting his shot, he maximizes his chances of survival. |
