the magazine science 84 planned to announce a contest in which anyone could submit a request for either $20 or $100. if fewer than 20% of the submissions requested $100, then everybody would receive what they requested. if 20% or more asked for $100, then everybody would get nothing. although the magazine wound up not running the contest, because lloyds of london was unwilling to insure against losses, we can still analyze what nash equilibrium would predict. suppose 100,000 people participate in the contest, and assume that payoffs are measured in money.
