This one is picked from the Internet and attributed to a University of Maryland professor. The students have the opportunity to get extra marks. They can select 6 or 2 points, but with conditions: if more than 10% of the students choose 6, no one gets anything. What will be your choice?
Others pick 6 points | |||
Your Pick | > 10% | < 10% | |
2 Points | 0 | 2 | |
6 points | 0 | 6 |
So, in either case, you are better off or at least as good off by picking 6.
