Here's a stupid game that showed up in a dream last night. In the dream I lost a lot of money. Anyway, would you play this game, and how do you play it?
You go up against two opponents. Each of you secretly writes down a dollar figure. The one with the middle value wins the values specified by the high and the low.
If you wrote down $100. And, the other two guys wrote down $25 and $500, then you won $525. The low guy pays you $25 and the high guy pays you $500.
In the rare event that two people write the same value, then the person with the different value wins. If all three write down the same value, it's a push.
Assume there is no collusion and that you and your two opponents know nothing about each another.
Stupid game, but curious how you'd play it. If anyone writes down a value of $0 then this is effectively a no-play, and no one wins.
