Prisoner's Dilemma


In the Prisoner's Dilemma two people are have been arrested for a crime. They're guilty. But to get a conviction of the actual crime, instead of a lesser offense, the cops need a confession. They are willing to make a deal, but only for one of them.

If one of them confesses and the other doesn't then the one who confessed goes free and the other gets 20 years.

But if they both confess they'll each get 5 years, nobody goes free.

If they both keep their mouths shut they'll be convicted of a lesser charge and each will get 2 years.
