Answer to Question 1

The first statement involves optimization. You believe that you will be best off if you stand regardless of the decisions other people make. The second statement involves equilibrium. If many other people also reason as you did then we should expect many people will decide to stand. The third statement involves empiricism. Our theory tells us that we should expect many people to stand at games. This economist's empirical study supports the theory.

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. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. 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.
