Prisoners Dilemma

The classical prisoner's dilemma:

Prisoner B Stays Silent Prisoner B Betrays
Prisoner A Stays Silent Each serves 6 months Prisoner A: 10 years

Prisoner B: goes free
Prisoner A Betrays Prisoner A: goes free

Prisoner B: 10 years
Each serves 5 years

You are prisoner A and have no idea what will Prisoner B do. Stay silent or betray?

  8. This one is a classic. Each of them on their own have only 1 solution to take in which they will receive the maximum benefit regardless of the other prisoner's choice. Yet when put together, it results in the worst possible solution!

  17. I'm not sure... because if they broke the law can I trust them not to betray me? I think I would probably betray; staying silent isn't worth the risk of them betraying me.
