21. Classical game theory was conceived by John von Neumann to determine optimal strategies in competitions between adversaries. 22. In that situation the optimal strategy for both sides is usually to play one tile on each turn. 23. The problem comes down to the idea of optimal strategy , maximizing the probability of selecting the best option. 24. Researchers show that the optimal strategy is a trade-off between the three factors of leverage, backlash, and patienc. 25. Only two players, both physicists, followed the riskier and more optimal strategy of sticking with B, he said. 26. What is the optimal strategy ?" 27. Thus, this group could develop optimal strategies for finding the water efficiently, but memory of specific locations is irrelevant. 28. The question is about the optimal strategy ( stopping rule ) to maximize the probability of selecting the best applicant. 29. I'm looking for the name because I was hoping that there'd been some scholarship on the optimal strategies or something. 30. What is the optimal strategy to maximise the expected profit ?-- talk ) 09 : 04, 26 August 2010 ( UTC)
