A particular two-player game starts with a pile of diamonds and a pile of rubies. Onyour turn, you can take any number of diamonds, or any number of rubies, or an equalnumber of each. You must take at least one gem on each of your turns. Whoever takesthe last gem wins the game. For example, in a game that starts with 5 diamonds and10 rubies, a game could look like: you take 2 diamonds, then your opponent takes 7rubies, then you take 3 diamonds and 3 rubies to win the game.You get to choose the starting number of diamonds and rubies, and whether you gofirst or second. Find all starting configurations (including who goes first) with 8 gemswhere you are guaranteed to win. If you have to let your opponent go first, what arethe starting configurations of gems where you are guaranteed to win? If you can’t findall such configurations, describe the ones you do find and any patterns you see.
Consider a two-player game that is set up with two piles of stones. The two players are taking turns removing stones from one of the two piles. In each turn, a player must choose a pile and remove one stone or two stones from it. The player who removes the last stone (making both piles empty) wins the game. Show that if the two piles contain the same number n ∈ Z+ of stones initially, then the second player can always guarantee a win.
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.

- In baseball, League A allows a designated hitter (DH) to bat for the pitcher, who is typically a weak hitter. In League B, the pitcher must bat. The common belief is that this results in League A teams scoring more runs. In interleague play, when League A teams visit League B teams, the League A pitcher must bat. So, if the DH does result in more runs, it would be expected that league A teams will score more runs in League A park than when visiting League B parks. To test this claim, a random sample of runs scored by league A teams with and without their DH is given in the accompanying table. Complete parts c) through d) below.arrow_forwardA game theorist is walking down the street in his neighborhood and finds $20. Just as he picks it up, two neighborhood kids, Jane and Tim, run up to him, asking if they can have it. Because game theorists are generous by nature, he says he’s willing to let them have the $20, but only according to the following procedure: Jane and Tim are each to submit a written request as to their share of the $20. Let t denote the amount that Tim requests for himself and j be the amount that Jane requests for herself. Tim and Jane must choose j and t from the interval [0,20]. If j + t ≤ 20, then the two receive what they requested, and the remainder, 20 - j - t, is split equally between them. If, however, j + t > 20, then they get nothing, and the game theorist keeps the $20. Tim and Jane are the players in this game. Assume that each of them has a payoff equal to the amount of money that he or she receives. Find all Nash equilibria.arrow_forwardIn a Stackelberg game, what is the best response that follower firm 2 can make to the choice y1 already made by the leader, firm 1?arrow_forward

Players who lose a game are immediately eliminated; players who win a game keep playing. Still, the organizers have a lot of choices to make. They could give a first round bye to some players so that after the first round there are 26 = 64 players and no more bye are needed. Or they could give even a second round bye to the best players, or possibly even a third round bye to the very best ones.

- Given question is A basket of fruit is being assembled from apples, bananas, and oranges. What is the fewest number of fruit pieces that should be placed in the basket to ensure that there are at least 8 apples, 6 bananas, or 9 oranges?Your answer: The question is asking you to prepare for a worst-case scenario, not a best-case scenario. Imagine a game where you're not the one in charge of choosing the fruits - your opponent is in charge, and they don't want you to win. The opponent can get away with choosing 20 fruits (7 apples, 5 bananas, and 8 oranges) before the 21st fruit finally forces your condition to be satisfied. Therefore total required the fewest number of fruit pieces =(7+5+8)+1=21.My question:Why did you add 7+5+8 , instead of 8 apples, 6 bananas, or 9 oranges? The given is 8+6+9 not 7+5+8. Also why did you add +1? Here, you add 1: (7+5+8) +1 =21. Also, Is it pigeonhole formula? The pigeonhole is ⌈n/m⌉ not like this as far as i know.

The starting team consists of A, B, C, D, and E, and the substitute squad consists F, G, H, I, J, and K. F can substitute for either A or B, G can substitute for either B or C, H can substitute for either A, C, or D, I can substitute for either C or D, J can substitute for wither D or E, and K can substitute for E. A. Model the possible substitutions on the team using a bipartite graph. B. Find a matching for the first team, if all of them foul out in a game.arrow_forwardConsider a symmetric game with 10 players. Each player chooses among three strategies: x, y, and z. Let nx denote the number of players who choose x, ny denote the number of players who choose y, and nz denote the number of players who choose z. (So, nz = 10−nx−ny.) The payoff to a player from choosing strategy x is 10−nx (note that nx includes this player as well), strategy y is 13−2ny (again ny includes this player as well), and strategy z is 3. (a) Show that a Nash equilibrium must have at least one person choosing x and at least one person choosing y. (Hint: In a Nash equilibrium, no player can do better by doing something different.) b) Find all Nash equilibria.arrow_forward

Each pair has $14 as endowment and a dictator has to decide how much to give to their recipient from the endowment. Then he adds another stage (S2) where it is stated that the dictators can give any amount between -$14 and +$14. a) explain what happens in Stage 1. b) explain what happens in stage 2.
