Each will see the color of each other but not of their own. The will ask the color of each own hat and the pow will be killed if the guess will be wrong. The pows need to establish a strategy that will guarantee survival of all of them except possibly one.

Bob and Doug play a lot of Ping-Pong, but Doug is a much better player, and wins 80% of their games. To make up for this, if Doug wins a game he will spot Bob five points in their next game. If Doug wins again he will spot Bob ten points the next game, and if he still wins the next game he will spot him fifteen points, and continue to spot him fifteen points as long as he keeps winning. Whenever Bob wins a game he goes back to playing the next game with no advantage. It turns out that with a five-point advantage Bob wins 20% of the time; he wins 50% of the time with a ten-point advantage and 80% of the time with a fifteen-point advantage. Model this situation as a Markov chain using the number of consecutive games won by Doug as the states. There should be four states representing zero, one, two, and three or more consecutive games won by Doug. Find the transition matrix of this system, the steady-state vector for the system, and determine the proportion of games that Doug will win in…

The game of Chomp is played by two players. In this game, cookies are laid out on a rectangular grid. The cookie in the top left position is poisoned. The two players take turns making moves; at each move, a player is required to eat a remaining cookie, together with all cookies to the right and/or below (that is all the remaining cookies in the rectangle, in which the first cookie eaten is the top left corner). The loser is the player who has no choice but to eat the poisoned cookie. Prove that if the board is square (and bigger than 1 × 1) then the first player has a winning strategy.
A construction company has a bid on two large construction projects. The president believes that the chances of winning the first contract is 55% and the chances of winning the second contract is 30% and that winning either contract is independent of winning the other. What are the chances the company will not win either contract?
In a game, a participant is given three attempts to hit a ball. On each try, she either scores a hit, H, or a miss, M. The game requires that the player must alternate which hand she uses in successive attempts. That is, if she makes her first attempt with her right hand, she must use her left hand for the second attempt and her right hand for the third. Her chance of scoring a hit with her right hand is .7 and with her left hand is .4. Assume that the results of successive attempts are independent and that she wins the game if she scores at least two hits in a row. If she makes her first attempt with her right hand, what is the probability that she wins the game?
Mark owns a construction company and has bids out on 3 construction projects. He has a 40% chance of winning the bid for Project A, 30% chance of winning the bid for Project B and a 35% chance of winning the bid for Project C.
