The problem here is that in your original post, you state that the goal is not to have more points than the other person, just to maximize your own points. Meaning that it is not a competition, and so there is no intrinsic value in defecting unless it is going to increase your points. given the rules of the game it dictates mutual cooperation is the only way to ensure a highest possible score. Because if you decide to defect after 49 rounds you may end up with 51, but you may end up with 49. (if after 48 rounds its either 48 or 50). two masters would come to the conclusion that if they go for the 51st point it is equally likely the other would as well and then end up with 49 points. So the solution is to cooperate and be guaranteed of 50, instead of defecting and averaging to 50 if you are lucky (which you wont be, because the other guy is a master).

I have a question about the game. You state that the game is played for 10 rounds and then the actual length of the game is announced. Is it possible that the game could have been ended after the ten rounds, or were the players guaranteed of at least one more round (the 11th round)?

I would wholeheartedly agree with you if we were doing bit wise operations (binary math). But this is a puzzle written in English language, so I believe the English language conventions should take precedence. And they do not follow the binary rule system for AND and OR. In everyday conversation we use the word "or" to mean one or the other but not both, so If I were to say the wall is red or white - I would mean that is either red or white, but not some combination of red and white. which is different that a binary OR in which a red, white and (red and white) walls would all qualify.

I think you need to look at each statement as a whole. If I were to say 1 + 1 = 2 and 2 + 2 = 5. I would be lying since I was indicating that both statements are true. Even though one is, I only need one to be false for it to be a lie. both sally and zoey statements are false because the used the term or. so back to my example if I were to say 1+1=2 or 2+2=4 i would be lying because I am indicating that only one of those statements are true, when in fact both are I hope this helps.

None correct so far. At least it wasn't gotten right off the bat

Vast is my use as I am in everything and while I can be royal I am never a king. But I am very common so don't be fooled The elders and the Greeks knew me, so I am quite old Some enumerate me with tools of great might Others just flag me when they angle their right I am not the omega, but some cultures put me last You do not think of me that way, even though I end your past

I disagree with your answer

I'm hoping that you are going to reveal the answer soon - since no one has gotten it.
