Take this character test. How fair are you?

[Cuffmania]

19/1

yes

[Joseph22]

This one cannot tell how fair we are. cause no background story. if money is illegal how?

[Blackforte]

one million is better than zero. why lose it just to get even ? life is never fair.

 

if its 20mil cash,i'll kill him and run away with the money.life is never fair.

[Blackforte]

no confirm answer.

 

If A = me and B = enemy, For Q1, ratio should be 99.9% to 0.1%. for Q 2, i will simply turn down to make both worst otherwise, who know how will he use the 19mil on me?

 

If A = me and B = buddy, for Q1 splitting ratio should be 50%/50%, for Q2, i will reject cos a real buddy wont do this to me.

 

If a = me and B = family, For Q1, any ratio also can, for Q2, i will accept.

 

 

possible to make it slightly more simple for me to understand?

[Simplesilver]

It's very clear here that even though A decides the ratio, B has the final say.

 

1) If I'm A, i would be good to B and offer 50/50.

 

2) If I'm B (ie, i have the final say) I would say no till the ratio gets changed to MY ratio. hehehe.

 

[Tedlhw]

I think this has to be approached from the angle that

 

1) everyone knows how much is at stake. No in-equality of information.

2) the guy is not a buddy or a friend. Just a complete stranger.

3) the result is enforced by a neutral 3rd party, no killing and robbing

 

Maybe then the answers formulated will be clearer.

Remember that B will always get to decide, ie need his approval before deal goes through.

Yes, but only one offer.

 

If B says no, nobody gets anything.

[Thargor]

Spinoff....

 

There is $20 million to be shared between 2 persons. The $20 million is split into $10 Million x 2

 

For the first $10 Million,

 

Person A decides how to share the money.

 

Person B decides whether or not to accept the proposed ratio.

 

If Person B accepts the ratio, both parties get the money. If Person B don't accept, nobody gets anything.

 

 

For the second $10 Million,

 

Person B decides how to share the money.

 

Person A decides whether or not to accept the proposed ratio.

 

If Person A accepts the ratio, both parties get the money. If Person A don't accept, nobody gets anything.

 

 

Person A and B are in 2 separate rooms and so they can't communciate. So will that change your decision if you are Person A?

Yes. My answer is based on that.

 

If i am A, will offer 9mio : 11mio in B's favor. Make the guy happy that he got a good deal.

 

If I am B, I will take 1mio:19mio. Stupid of me to reject. Actually i also realised that there is a limit.

 

For B, by right, $1 also must take, but he offer less than $10K, i think i may decide to punish the f--ker instead, by rejecting. In economics terms, got kink in the curve.

1st 10 milion, again 9: 11, I take 4.5, the other guy get 5.5.

 

2nd 10 million, as long as i get some, by right must take. but as i said, i think got kink in my curve. I would value punishing the guy more, if I am offered below 10K.

But what if the other guy decides to punish you as well? Remember any decision made is independent of each other. You won't know if he accept/reject your deal...nor will he know your decision.

Punish me..You mean in which case? I don't really understand.

 

In the first case, i think he would be irrational to reject my deal, after all he has already gotten the bigger slice. If he's going to punish me for giving him the bigger slice then... er... i also don't know.

 

In the 2nd case, only i would be in a position to 'punish' him, no?

[Leggt]

There is only one way to resolve this amicably since both A and B has equal amount of ability to decide the fate of this 20 mil. So for every million, scissors, paper, stone! No need to squabble, leave it to chance....:)

Attaching some workings I done for my thinking....

 

Assuming I am person A.

Before I decide, my goal is I will not go away empty-handed. From the workings, as long as I do not reject, I will get at least 1million.

 

However, I am going by the assumption that Person A is rational but if he feels that he's being taken advantage of, he will reject my proposal (in short anything that is not 1:1) :

If Person B is a greedy person and had offer me 1Million in his proposal, he will accept my proposal of 5 % million since he will get 14 Million (assuming I accept his proposal)

If person B is a honest person, he will offer me 5 million as well. We will both get 10 million then.

 

 

So given all that, I will offer 5 million. I will get at least 5 million. How much I get, depends really on whether I want things to be fair or not. But at least, I am sure I get at least 5 million...

 

So in short, I will have some control over how much I receive in the end by offering 1:1. If I offer 9:1 and person B offer 9:1 as well, I may end up getting only 1 million (assuming I accept).

 

Make sense?
