OK. 1/2 time. Spinning the Wheel.

Ugly lady spins for .1 and spins again for .3 = .4 total
Other guy spins .7 and kicks lady to curb.
Third guy spins once and sends them both home crying with .90.


Is there an optimal strategy is you spin first? What if you get .65? What about .45 - gotta spin? Do you spin again? With two to spin behind you smaller numbers are vulnerable.

I'm guessing this is a pretty simple game theory question, that mathematically inclined OOTers can answer easily. I am also curious to see the answer, because one never knows when one will appear on TPIR.

Maybe the purges did accomplish something. This thread has been going for 30 minutes w/o someone starting an UNofficial Price is Right thread to point out the idiocy of the title. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
