Game theory is the science of strategy. It attempts to determine mathematically and logically the actions that “players” should take to secure the best outcomes for themselves in a wide array of “games.” The games it studies range from chess to child rearing and from tennis to takeovers. But the games all share the common feature of interdependence. That is, the outcome for each participant depends on the choices (strategies) of all. In so-called zero-sum games the interests of the players conflict

the start of the 4th quarter the game was tied at 56, we bring the ball down the court and saw the defense in a 2-3 zone I knew if I passed the ball to the corners or in the post they were going to trap, I dribbled up to the 3pt line and faked a pass to Tez, the defense started shifting to the left thinking I passed the ball and I shot the 3 ball and listened as it ripped through the net and listened to the crowd get hype. With 1 minute left in the 4th quarter the game is tied at 68 and the orange team

Arizona men’s rugby game last weekend against UCSD. I have a neighbor who plays on the team and because this was their last home game I decided to go and watch. I have never been to a rugby game before but since meeting my neighbor I have made a few friends on the team and thought it would be fun to go and support them. Since I had watched the rugby team in person I chose to watch a basketball game on TV so I could compare the two. The game I chose to watch was Kobe’s last game of his career. The

seemed to stare each other down. The game was drawing to a close as we set up our offense a couple more times. These last few plays would determine the game. The last quarter of the game commenced. What they didn’t know is that the whole week before this game we were training for it. Huntley, under false pretenses, assumed they would snatch this victory from us with ease, little did they know, we had been preparing especially for this game. This wasn’t just another game for us, it was the highlight of

The Hunger Games is a science fiction novel written by American writer Suzanne Collins in 2008. The Hunger Games is the first novel in a trilogy that also includes Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Together, they are known as the Hunger Games Trilogy.

For as long as I can remember I have always loved the game of basketball. I was always constantly driving my family crazy with the sound of dribbling a basketball. Every morning on the weekends my Dad and I would go and shoot at the YMCA. I have been playing basketball for eleven years and I first stepped onto the court when I was in first grade playing for Upward Basketball, a recreation league for elementary kids. I had played for many club teams the following years with lots of highlights and

I read this book many times during the summer, and after this encounter, I suddenly found that what he said was very relatable to the idea of the book. In “Ender 's Game”, Ender was only 8 years old (I think) when he was sent to Command School to be a commander in the humans vs. buggers war. Most people thought that the whole idea of letting a 8 year old child be the person their fate depends on was preposterous. Ender

I thought this would be a normal soccer game, that I wouldn’t hurt myself this time. I was 12, and we were at the soccer field in early June. When the game started, I was playing defense. An agile girl from the other team stole the ball and sped down the field towards our side. When she got to me, I tried to get the soccer ball back, but she got the ball and ran towards the goal. I knew I made a mistake and I ran as fast as I could after her. I was almost right by her side, so I twisted my body

Here it is the day before the biggest game of the biggest game of the season; the coach had us practicing for three hours straight with not water break might I add.

5: Games I played as a child There are a lot of games I used to play as a child, like tag or hide and seek. However, there was one game we always went out to play. Water balloon war, WBW for short. the purpose of this game was to make the other team soaked in water. This game was played like dodgeball, so if you were hit by a balloon you were out. I remember the feeling of victory and it was that tactical gameplay we all love. On the other hand sometimes this game would get stale, and so we would

Being passionate about something such as a sport, music, or even a videogame is a good feeling. It makes you ambitious and enthusiastic about whatever you feel passionate about. In Rules of the Game by Amy Tan, Waverly becomes passionate about chess after her brothers receive a chessboard for Christmas; her mom brags about how Waverly is her daughter to other people using her to show off. Waverly deserves credit for her success in chess, not her mom because her mom did nothing but provide Waverly

Have you ever taken part in a game of basketball? I certainly have and I will give you a sneak peek of what it's like to be a basketball player and participate in a game of basketball. It was a frigid winter Saturday afternoon. We were half way through our third and final game of the day in the Aplington-Parkersburg tournament. A member from the Aplington-Parkersburg team had just tossed the ball into the hoop it then fell through the net landing on the floor. Kayley Wibholm (my Lynx teammate)

When I was a Freshman in college, I set out to start developing my own games, in hopes of one day opening my own game studio. Right from the beginning, I started out as ambitious as I am today; and while my skills have matured and evolved over the years, all my knowledge and efforts can be linked back to my first game: Minecraft Hunger Games. As a Freshman in college without any direction, and or, formal learning of advanced computer science topics, creating a PvP Minecraft server seemed daunting

The lacrosse game Last Saturday I went to my first ever lacrosse game in Ithaca, New York. The game was played between the college teams Albany Great Danes and Cornell Big Red. I had been invited by friends, and of course I wanted to go. I knew nothing about lacrosse before the game but now I’d almost consider myself a professional. But now I’m going to narrate how it went. We took our seats and saw the players come out. There were ten players on the field, of which three are attackers, three midfielders
