Two construction companies, Giant and Sky, bid for the right to build in a field. The possible bids are $ 10 Million, $ 20 Million, $ 30 Million, S 35 Million and S 40 Million. The winner is the company with the higher bid. The two companies decide that in the case of a tie (equal bids), Giant is the winner and will get the field. Giant has ordered a survey and, based on the report from the survey, 1 concludes that getting the field for more than $ 35 Million is as bad as not getting it (assume loss), except in case of a tie (assume win) Sky is not aware of this survey. (a) State reasons why/how this game can be described as a two-players zero-sum game [
Suppose there are 1000 votes cast in an election between three
candidates: Olsen, Tate, and Alverez. The election is to be decided by plurality.
After the first 850 votes are counted, the tallies are as follows:
Olsen
343
Tate
315
Alverez 192
What is the minimal number of remaining votes Tate needs to be assured of a
win?
The following are the rules of the game:
One player is chosen to be the "It" that guards the preso (empty can).
The rest of the players are the hitters, and each throws the pamato (slipper) to the
toe-line to topple down the preso.
If a player throws the farthest from the toe-line, he/she becomes the "It".
The hitters are divided between the two opposite sides.
When the hitters run out of throwing objects, the game translates into a chase.
Players on one side will act as bait while those on the other side will try to kick the
can to avoid being tagged.

Given the set of rules of the game, answer the following:
1. Identify the simple statements, compound statements, and the connectives involved in
compound statements. Explain your answer.
2. Make a twist in the game by adding a new rule to the game or replacing one of the rules
