There are two players who simultaneously call out one of the numbers oneor two. Player I’s name is James; he wins if the sum of the numbers is odd. Player II’s name is Louis; she wins if the sum of the numbers is even. The amount paid to the winner by the loser is always the sum of the numbers in pesos. Find the table for the payoff function P, and analyze the game to find the value and optimal strategies of the players. Is the game fair?
I don't need to know the value of the game I need to know the optimal strategies for R and C please
Decide whether the game is strictly determined. If it is, give the players' optimal pure strategies and the value of the game.

The ground between the barn and the house is slippery, so there is a 50 percent chance that McDonald will slip on a given trip and break all the eggs in his basket.
