Question:

1. Two candidates for political office must decide to be for, against, or neutral on a certain referendum. Pollsters have determined that, if candidate R comes out for the referendum, they will gain 8000 votes if candidate C also comes out for the referendum, will lose 1000 votes if candidate C comes out against, and will gain 1000 votes if candidate C comes out neutral. If candidate R comes out against, they will lose 7000 votes (respectively, gain 4000 votes, lose 2000 votes) if candidate C comes out for (respectively, comes out against, is neutral on) the referendum. If candidate R is neutral, they will gain 3000 votes if C is for or against and will gain 2000 votes if C is neutral?
2. TV stations R and C each have a quiz show and a situation comedy to schedule for their one o'clock and two o'clock time slots. If they both schedule their quiz shows at one o'clock, then station R will take $3000 in advertising revenue away from station C. If they both schedule their quiz shows at two o'clock, then station C will take $2000 in advertising revenue from R. If they choose different hours for the quiz show, then R will take $5000 in advertising from C by scheduling its show at two o'clock, and $2000 by scheduling it at 1 o'clock?
3. Player R has two cards: a red 5 and a black 10. Player C has three cards: a red 6, a black 7, and a black 8. They each place one of their cards on the table. If the cards are the same color, R receives the difference of the two numbers. If the cards are of different colors, C receives the smaller of the two numbers?
