67. Pirate's Simple Coin Logic 100 gold coins, on difficult. If pirates 1 and 3 vote against the captain, then the Captain gets mutinied, and a new redistribution is proposed. Why would they be content to get simply one coin? Added 8 December 2008 Show Hint Show Solution Hint: Consider the voting dynamics and the potential outcomes for each pirate. Solution: Pirate 1 and Pirate 3 would be content with one coin because if they vote against the captain and the captain is overthrown, they risk getting nothing in the new redistribution. By accepting one coin now, they ensure they receive something rather than risking everything for a chance at more.
