    The Prisoner’s Dilemma

    Instruction: Read the scenario carefully and answer the following questions. (3 items x 10 points)

    Curly and Moe are crooks. They have been caught stealing auto parts and are now sitting
    in separate rooms in the city jail. The district attorney is delighted to have finally caught them in the
    act of committing a crime. The DA knows that Curly and Moe are guilty not only of this crime but
    also several other burglaries that have occurred during the past year. She knows they are guilty of
    these crimes, but she can’t prove that in court.

    The DA decides to try to persuade Curly and Moe to confess by offering each of them a
    deal. She talks to each one separately: “I have enough on both of you to send you to jail for two
    years. But if you confess to the other robberies, which carry a 10-year sentence, you will get off
    with one year and only your partner will serve 10 years. If you both confess to the other robberies,
    you will both get five years.”

    Do not worry about whether Curly’s and Moe’s constitutional rights are being violated or
    whether they would actually serve these sentences if convicted. Those are interesting and
    important issues but for another course. For now, accept the following statements:
     If Curly confesses and Moe doesn’t, Curly goes to jail for one (1) year and Moe for 10 years.
     If Moe confesses and Curly doesn’t, Moe goes to jail for one (1) year and Curly for 10 years.
     If both Curly and Moe confess, they both go to jail for five (5) years.
     If neither Curly nor Moe confess, they both go to jail for two (2) years.
     Both Curly and Moe want to serve as little jail time as possible.

    Given this situation, answer the following questions:

    1. If you were either Moe or Curly, what would you do if you expected the other to confess? Why?
    IF IM ONE OF THEM FOR ME I DON’T HAVE ANYTHNG EXPECTING THAT IF THEY GOING TO BE CONFESS
    ANYTHING WE DO, BECAUSE IF THEY WERE ME, I SHOULD CONFESS AND MAY SENTENCE WILL BE 5 YEARS
    IN JAIL THAN TO 10 YEARS IN PRISONMENT.

    2. If you were either Moe or Curly, what would you do if you expected the other NOT to confess Why?
    FOR ME I WILL NOT CONFESS TO BECAUSE IT’S ALL ABOUT LOYALTY TO EACH OTHER AND NO ONE LEAVE EACH
    OTHER NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED.

    3. Under what circumstances would Curly and Moe NOT confess?


    MAYBE IS ABOUT WHAT IS THRUOGH THEM ACCUSED ABOUT ROBBIRIES BECAUSE EVEN DA KNEW ABOUT
    WHAT THEY DO BUT SHE DON’T HAVE ANY PROOF ABOUT THAT SO THEY CAN’T BE CONFESS ABOUT THAT.
