Prisoner's Dilemma
Final Exam for Microeconomics 2025 (Total points: 30)
This question has two choices: A and B. Your paper will be randomly paired with another student's paper.

If both you and the other student choose A, each of you will receive 20 points.

If both choose B, each will receive 10 points.

If one chooses A and the other chooses B, the one who chose A gets 0 points, and the one who chose B gets 30 points.
(The pairing will be completely random after all submissions are completed. Each person's answer will be kept strictly confidential, and all papers will be destroyed after grading.)
Your answer:

A

Because hopefully everyone is smart enough to realise that choosing A means they'll get paired with another A for the 20 points, rather than be selfish and think they can choose B to ♥♥♥♥ someone else over and the full 30 for themselves.

But people are idiots.

Option C: Pull everyone except the teacher into a group chat and say we all choose A; after the results come out, if anyone dares to pick B, we’ll beat him/her up offline. LOL:Mirro_KetsunoAna:

For big boy points reference game theory and Jean Jacques Rousseau's 'Discourse on the origin of Inequality'. It is always better for the hunters to cooperate and take down bigger prey. :winter2019cooldog:

Personally, I don’t have much faith that human nature will shine so brightly. There are bound to be plenty of calculating egoists who pick B, shattering the hopes of anyone who wanted everyone to get a decent score and forcing those good-intentioned people to throw in their lot with the B-choosers.

You win either way with choice B. You can lose it all with choice A.

It's called "prisoner's dilemma" because it's about arrested people given a choice to stay silent or rat out the other culprit. You reworded it to be about silly exam points. Here's what it's supposed to be:

Most people will go with B, because they only care about themselves, not the other person, nor the total amount of years being served.

For maximum profit i go the high cooperation route but everytime the other chooses B to get the points alone i punish in the next turn but the turn after i go A again. You only profit with high trust.

Maybe there's also option D: create 100 temporary email accounts to spam the teacher:):Mint_Rebirth:

It's a recognizable experiment, albeit wearing different clothes.

Iirc, plenty of people will choose A.
Because, it's reasonable from a cooperative perspective and will net the most benefits for everyone.

Except that's not how all humans operate and most who choose option B will prosper more then those who choose option A.

Selfish people tend to fare better expensively in environments with higher cooperative amounts of people.
The more people coorperate the better the selfish person flourishes.
