We consider a two player simultaneous-move game where the two players each select any permissible n-sided die for a fixed integer n. A player wins if the outcome of his roll is greater than that of his opponent. Remarkably, for n > 3, there is a unique Nash Equilibrium in pure strategies. The unique Nash Equilibrium is for each player to throw the Standard n-sided die, where each side has a dif...

Throughout the post-war period there have been many attempts to reform the UK education system, often with an explicit intention to try and make it more productive. The list of education policy reforms that have been attempted over the last 50 years is quite extensive, and recently the UK (and in particular England and Wales) has introduced many innovative market-oriented reforms to its educati...

We observe that non-transitivity is not the most general way that Arrow’s impossibility theorem is re‡ected in dice games. Non-transitivity in dice games is a well-known phenomenon. It was described in several Scienti…c American columns in the 1970s, beginning with [3], and has since become a popular topic, discussed in articles like [4, 5] and textbooks on elementary mathematics and probabilit...

Algorithmic composition was already popular before the rise of the computer. In the Renaissance, dice based composition games were popular. In such game, a composition was stitched together from different fragments, where selection and order of these fragments was decided by the roll of a dice. Then, in 1957 Hiller and Isaacson [8] were the first to make a computer generate a musical compositio...

Frequent criticism in dynamic decision making research pertains to the overly complex nature of the decision tasks used in experimentation. To address such concerns we study dynamic decision making with respect to the simple race game Hog, which has a computable optimal decision strategy. In the two-player game of Hog, individuals compete to be the first to reach a designated threshold of point...

Making distributed systems reliable is notoriously difficult. It is even more difficult to achieve high reliability for federated and heterogeneous systems, i.e., those that are operated by multiple administrative entities and have numerous inter-operable implementations. A prime example of such a system is the Internet’s inter-domain routing, today based on BGP. We argue that system reliabilit...
