Category theory was abstract, mathy, and difficult, but at least I wasn't losing money studying it. This week we're learning game theory, and I've already lost fifty cents. Here's the game:
You need an odd number of people, each with fifty cents to bet. Each person has a tetrahedron (google it, ignorami) with the sides labeled m+ (for mutron), m- (for anti-mutron), e- (for electron), and e+ (for positron). For ten minutes, roll the tetrahedron and list the particles that land on the bottom. As you go along, m+ and m-cancel each other out when they land next to each other, and e- and e+ similarly cancel each other out. E.g. if you roll the sequence
m+, e-, m+, m-
the last two cancel, and it turns into
m+, e-.
Otherwise, the last roll is simply added onto to sequence. After ten minutes, stop and place your bets. Then do a final roll. Bet on whether most people's final roll will cancel out the previous roll in their sequence or will add onto the sequence.
How would you bet?

On first thought, you'd think that whatever the previous roll was, you'd only have a one in four chance of rolling it's opposite. But, that sounds way too easy for a JPP (Julia-posed-problem)so I'll go with ... 50/50. But then, we always had to do a shot after every non-canceled e+ roll.
