(Dixit and Skeath p.117)(3p) An old lady is looking for help crossing the street. Only one person is needed to help her; more are okay but no better than one. You and I are the two people in the vicinity who can help; we have to choose simultaneously whether to do so. Each of us will gain (get pleasure)3utiles from her success, no matter who helps her. But each one who goes to help will bear a cost of 1 utile, this being the utility of our time taken up in helping. With no cost incurred and no pleasure derived our payoff is 0.
