    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_games_conjecture

    A unique game is a special case of a two-prover one-round (2P1R) game. A two-prover one-round game has two players (also known as provers) and a referee. The referee sends each player a question drawn from a known probability distribution, and the players each have to send an answer. The answers come from a set of fixed size.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_game

    A mathematical game is a game whose rules, strategies, and outcomes are defined by clear mathematical parameters. [ 1 ] [ verification needed ] [ clarification needed ] Often, such games have simple rules and match procedures, such as tic-tac-toe and dots and boxes .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guess_2/3_of_the_average

    In game theory, "guess ⁠ 2 / 3 ⁠ of the average" is a game where players simultaneously select a real number between 0 and 100, inclusive. The winner of the game is the player(s) who select a number closest to ⁠ 2 / 3 ⁠ of the average of numbers chosen by all players.

  5. Mathematical puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_puzzle

    Conway's Game of Life and fractals, as two examples, may also be considered mathematical puzzles even though the solver interacts with them only at the beginning by providing a set of initial conditions. After these conditions are set, the rules of the puzzle determine all subsequent changes and moves.

    Thus, as far as he knows, there are two possible sequences the first person could have been labeling: one starting with a 0, and one starting with a 1. Because of our labeling scheme, these two sequences would receive opposite labels, so based on what the first person says, the second person can determine which of the two possible strings the ...

    A. 2 + 6 + 6 = 14 B. 3 + 3 + 8 = 14. In case 'A', there is no 'eldest child': two children are aged six (although one could be a few minutes or around 9 to 12 months older and they still both be 6). Therefore, when told that one child is the eldest, the census-taker concludes that the correct solution is 'B'. [3]

    On a standard 6-sided die, this corresponds to the three odd faces—1, 3, and 5. The rose's "petals" are the dots which surround the center dot. There is no rose on the 2, 4, or 6 faces, so these count as zero. There are no petals on the 1 face, so it also counts as zero. There are two petals and four petals on the 3 and 5 faces, respectively.

    Determined game (or Strictly determined game) In game theory, a strictly determined game is a two-player zero-sum game that has at least one Nash equilibrium with both players using pure strategies. [2] [3] Dictator A player is a strong dictator if he can guarantee any outcome regardless of the other players.
