Anyone see survivor last night? When asked to pick a number between 1
and 1000 (presumably the closest number to the one in the questioner's
head would win her vote) the first contestant chose 3 and the second
chose 886! Incredibly poor strategy on both contestants part especially
when a
The first player is at disadvantage when he has to
pick first. If he is smart then he would pick a
number that lines in the middle. The second player
will then pick the same number that is one less or
more depending which side has more numbers.
I wonder what kind of strategy is taken when it
The players on Survivor may not have been smart enough, but the
players on The Price is Right pursue the correct strategy all the time
(bids of $1 if they think everyone has overbid or bids of $1 higher than
the highest bid if they think everyone has underbid.)
