Default Game Theory Contest $100 prize.

6 game theory questions, whoever correctly answeres them first wins.

In order to make it fair, I will not post the questions yet, so people will have a chance to see this, (so its not just first come first serve).

Once you have seen this and decide that you want to participate, PM me and I will add you to the list.

[/ QUOTE ]I'd like a little assurance on this question. The first couple I looked at seemed to be straight-forward game theory problems. If you just emailed us your homework, your "contest" is pretty not-cool.

If the questions are harder than that, I'll look closer. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

What is your incentive to offering the prize money? I'm sure a lot of people here would have fun solving them for free.

Question 7: Given semi-rational two plus two users, what's the optimal amount of money you can pretend to offer so as to get people to do your homework?

I'm far too lazy to PM anybody, but if you post the questions I'll have a look.

As a possible resolution to this question, I suggest you send your solutions to an impartial 3rd party until the contest end.

The 3rd party should probably be a regular poster in this forum-- someone whose integrity is unquestioned. I.E., not me. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

whatever. I am fine with that... although there are several people on 2+2 who can vouch for my integrity.
