13 Question 5 Second participant CD First participant A(800,800)(0,1000) B(1000,0)(350,350) Prisoner ’ s Dilemma

14 Question 5 Second participant CD First participant A(800,800)(0,1000) B(1000,0)(350,350) Therefore First Participant:B Second Participant:D

15 Question 5 Second participant CD First participant A(800,800)(0,1000) B(1000,0)(350,350) However, in most of the past experiments First Participant:A Second Participant:C About half of the time. (Too much cooperation???)
