Re: Jason_t\'s flight home...
[ QUOTE ]
Jason:99
John:98
[/ QUOTE ]
but where does it end? Yes, Jason knows that John is rational. If he assusmes that John plays 100, then by playing 99 he can score 101. But John knows this, so he plays 98, thus netting himself 100 instead. Of course, jason knows that John knows this, so he would just say 97, and so on and so on.
The only rational answer, then is 2. This is the only answer that cannot give the other an advantage.
