Unit 4 DB: Prisoner’s Dilemma via Game Show

Begin watching the YouTube clip of the Split or Steal game show in the Readings and Resources.  Pause the video at the 5:00 minute mark. 

Using material from this week’s readings, discuss the social dilemma posed by the game show.  If you were in Abraham’s place and you had more time to discuss, what else would you have asked or discussed?  Which golden ball would you choose, and why?
