If John cleans, he will have a happiness level of 4 since he would have preferred Michael cleaning as he believes it's Michael's turn. On the other hand, if John refrains from cleaning, he will have a happiness level of 6 since the apartment will be dirty, but he won't have to do any work.
If Michael cleans, he will have a happiness level of 4 since he would have preferred John cleaning as he believes it's John's turn. On the other hand, if Michael refrains from cleaning, he will have a happiness level of 6 since the apartment will be dirty, but he won't have to do any work.
Therefore, both John and Michael's dominant strategy is to refrain from cleaning, resulting in an outcome where the apartment remains dirty, and both have a happiness level of 6.
