21 Dares | Game Theory 1 - Problem Solving
In this, the first video in the series on problem solving in Game Theory, David introduces a class of combinatorial games for two players which lend themselves to being studied mathematically. We then look at a technique for finding winning strategies for these games called position analysis, which is basically a special version of the general technique to work backwards. This technique can be used to find a winning strategy for the game of 21 Dares. David describes two more games where you can try to find winning strategies. These are Picking Up Sticks, and Wythoff's Game.
