I was reading Strang's Applied Mathematics
the other day. He got into talking about the "Wedding Problem". Right
before this, he was talking about another problem you can apply some
game theory to called "Escape". He then likened the winning strategy of
the "Wedding Problem" to the winning strategy to "Escape".
Conclusion? I shall directly quote from Strang, I swear to you, no joke, this is printed in the Applied Mathematics book, I am not paraphrasing it, this is verbatim:
"Inside the wedding game, the real game is Escape."
Genius. This guy is fucking genius.
