My answer was like 0.1122222222 and his answer is 0.111111 ?

I also get 0.111111 as my answer when we're not working in the discrete case ;ie , we select a number from [0,1]but I get 0.1122222 when we're working in this particular example .

Either way , I'm certain I did everything right .

What is the strategy for P1 and P2 that is giving you 0.112222222?

Mykey , my strategy is the same as yours . My answer is nothing but a round-off error .

I gave a very close approximation that when player one calls player two , that player two will win 1/3 of the time . This is not exactly true but it's very close which is why i'm off by a slight margin .

This is why I prefer not working in the discrete case .

I call BS on the rounding errors.

It's formula errors.
