Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

a) This is an example of an ultimatum game, and Player 1 should choose his optimal strategy using the process of backward induction, that is, by considering Player 2's decision first. If Player 1 offers a certain percentage of money to Player 2, Player 1 will definitely accept the offer because he prefers more money to less. Therefore, Player 1's optimal strategy is to offer the minimum possible amount to Player 2.
b) If Player 2 prefers fairness to money, he will not accept the offer in case Player 1 offers the lowest possible amount. If Player 1 knows that Player 2 prefers fairness to money, he will figure out that Player 2 will not accept the offer if he offers the lowest possible amount, leaving each of them with 0. Therefore, Player 1 will choose to offer a fair deal.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
