![]() You probably made some reasonable assumptions about this game: You’ve assumed that everybody else’s button works the same way that yours does. You’ve done $2 damage to everybody else, but you’ve saved yourself $60. A moment ago, I said that if 60 people push, you lose $120, but if 60 other people push and you do, too, then you only lose $60 you’re still $40 to the good. If other people press their buttons and cause you damage, pushing your button will cut that damage in half. Pressing your button has two effects and the second one targets you. You’ll have to pay up, except that there’s a way out of this for you. Given that you only $100 to start with, you’re going to end up $20 in debt. If 60 other people pushed their buttons, you’re going to lose 2 × 60, or $120. It sounds vicious on your part, but other people may press their buttons, too, and every time they do, you lose $2 along with everybody else. When you push your button, the first thing it does is to take $2 away from every other player, and just like that, everyone else is down to $98. But either way, you must face the consequences. ![]() All you have to do is decide whether or not to push a button.
