报告摘要:

“Transitive” is a property where, if A is better than B, and B is better than C, then A is better than C. In a non-transitive game, this rule is violated for some set of strategies.

The canonical example is rock-paper-scissors: scissors beats paper, and rock beats scissors - so surely rock is best? No - paper beats rock…

In this presentation, I will discuss two games that appear fair but, for some strange reason, exhibit hidden non-transitive behavior.

No preliminary knowledge is required. This lecture is essentially about discrete probability theory.
