A question for those who want to tackle it:
Here is the situation:
"Two suspects, A and B, are arrested by the police. The police have insufficient evidence for a conviction, and having separated both prisoners, visit each of them and offer the same deal: if one testifies for the prosecution against the other and the other remains silent, the betrayer goes free and the silent accomplice receives the full 10-year sentence. If both stay silent, the police can only give both prisoners 6 months for a minor charge. If both betray each other, they receive a 2-year sentence each. Each prisoner must make a choice - to betray the other, or to remain silent. However, neither prisoner knows for sure what choice the other prisoner will make. What will happen?"
I will screen comments so if someone gets it, others can figure it out.
If you are familir with this, then you can give me the title of this situation, and wether or not there is a Pareto-Optimal solution.
So what will happen?
