Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If Tom does not tattle, Sarah's best response is to hit him. This is because if she does not hit him, no one gains anything. However, if she hits him, she gains 5 and Tom loses 5 but this is better than both of them gaining nothing. Therefore, Sarah's best response is to hit Tom.
