Since there is no dominant strategy for either Jim or Celia, they must consider their preferences and potential outcomes. It is important to note that Celia's payoff for seeing Das Auto alone is higher than her payoff for seeing it with Jim. Therefore, it may be in her best interest to choose Das Auto even if Jim chooses Rambo X. However, ultimately the best choice(s) depend on their individual preferences and the potential outcomes.
