The Prisoner’s Dilemma
•In the Prisoner’s Dilemma, 2 guys are held for a crime, with no communication between them.
•Each is asked to rat out the other.If both rat out, they both get the worst punishment. If neither does, they get the least punishment.
•Given the lack of information, the rational thing to do is to rat the other out, which results in the maximum punishment for both.
