Mehmet and Erol share an apartment. They both enjoy lying on a sofa and watching TV in the living
room. But they also enjoy one another's companionship: when they are both there, they can chat,
comment on the TV programs they watch, etc.
Mehmet can go and rest in the living room in the "Morning" or the "Evening." Same for Erol: he can go
to the living room in the "Morning" or the "Evening." Mehmet normally likes to go there in the
"Morning" while Erol normally likes to go there in the "Evening." But more importantly, each prefers to
be there when the other is also there.
Suppose they simultaneously make their decisions. In this game, who are the players? What are their
actions?
Create a payoff matrix and fill its entries such that the payoffs are consistent with the above situation.
We learned some classic games in game theory. In essence, which of these classic games is this situation
like? Explain.
