This concept was explored in a game from the "Alice in Borderland" series. It was basically the survey, but if you guessed wrong, sulfuric acid would kill you. Fun!
The k-level reasoning thing reminds me of a manga named 'Liar Game' that's so satisfying to read. The main characters are geniuses playing psychological game against each other, using this multi-level way of thinking ahead. It's just plain awesome.
Hiền Anh Trần yeah, it is very related. I did a phd in game theory (behavioural science) and illustrated these games to my colleagues (postdoc and professors in game theory) at some point and they were also intrigued by them. At some point we considered doing an experimental variation based on the stationary roulette game based on the manga. 🙂
When it comes to human behavior, it depends on how well you know their habits and ways of thinking. Due to how complex humans can think and how smart we can be, there would be multiple results on how we could act and it would depend on how well we know people and humans in general.
What's interesting is that if you convince everyone to choose 0, they all win but if one of them chooses something else nobody wins. If you explain that to every participant they could all choose 0 because otherwise they lose. But there will be at least one troll that wants to screw everyones winning chance...
yeah that's literally what i thought . you'd have a couple of trolls choosing 100 , and a couple of rational thinkers understanding that there would be trolls , so they increase their bet them selves . and the cycle repeats , that's why the result was an off 6
@@fraidei2094 Implicitly, they do. They said that if everyone guessed 100, the winner would select 67 (or maybe 66). Either way, that's not actually 2/3, but just close to it. Maybe they meant that the winning guess is 2/3 of the average but rounded to the nearest integer. Even if so, with a large group, if there are fewer than 1% trolls, everyone who picks 0 wins.
@@timthielke3541 The problem is that out of 1000 people in the internet you have round about 200 trolls, 300 morons, and another 300 idiots.

So, while 0 is a Nash equilibrium, so is 1.
Yo 4 years late, but it is not a Nash equilibrium, take the game with 2 people for example. 4 cases: A picks 0, B picks 0, A 0 B 1, A 1 B 0, A 1 B 1; If both pick 0, 0 wins. If one picks 0 and the other one picks 1, 0 still wins (0,5 average *0,66 is closer to 0 than to 1) If both pick 1, 1 wins. Therefore 0 wins no matter what the other guy picks, while 1 doesnt. The same is true for 3 people, which I will not elaborate further. And for more than 3 people its still not a Nash equ. in 1, which again I will not explain in this comment, due to being to long of an explanation.
@ yes, but you have to take 2/3 of the average of 0.5, which is 0.33 (clearly closer to 0 than to 1, also after correctly rounding to 0) And in case you meant taking 2/3 of the average after rounding: as far as i unterstand it, there was no rule stating to only take whole numbers as a valid average.
@Abhinandan Katoch Back when Club Penguin was still around, the idea was that you had a trio of basic cards. Water, fire, and snow. Fire beats snow, snow beats water, and water beats fire. Cards are numbered 2-12 and if you guess the same element, the one with higher numbers beats the other, and if they are still tied, the round is null. Each card also has a colour, and so you win by either having three cards of the same element in all three different colours or three cards of different elements of three different colours. You can see what your opponent's colours have been, and have a record of your own. Ergo, you are able to guess that the other player will be more likely to choose cards that help them win the game and get to that diversity of cards, but the other player knows this much of you just as much and also knows that you would prefer to play cards that help you win in the same way, and you know that they know, they know that you know that they know, and so on. It was a brilliant game.

@@robertjarman3703 BACK WHEN CLUB PENGUIN WAS STILL AROUND??? it still is... I just played 2-3 months back and FK i felt so nostalgic, also its boring now... it was good when we/I were a kid but know its just too little content.
For the “second round” of the 2/3 game, I’m expecting at least half of the people to remember “0 is the best answer” and pick zero, and half to pick random numbers, pick 100 to be trolls, still pick 50 because the math is confusing, or pick 60 because the math is confusing. I pick 33.
well like its simply trying to guess what everyone thinks like at k0 no one thinks so u go with a random number but at k1 u assume there are k0 ppl and try to guess a number now u assume there are k1 ppl its basically u having a certain thought process and answering based upon if everyone had the thought process . And a tip if u are trying to understand things easily try to like explain it to urself out loud as if u are explaining it to someone else if u read this thank you for taking time to read this.
The question is really 3 steps: 1st: people guessed a number between 1-100 2nd: what do you think is the average number guessed for all numbers recorded? 3rd: The real question. Now that you have that average number in mind, what whole number is 2/3 of it? So if you think the average was 60, then your answer is 2/3 of 60 which is 40. I know your comment is old but I hope it helped!
If we're all smart and we know we're all smart, then the question essentially is... What is the value of x if 2/3 of x is also x? Now I'm so mad I didn't get this post in my recommendation.
@@whynot9579 If everyone playing is a perfect logician and also knows that every other player is, then the reasoning is as follows: There will be some average x, since everyone playing knows this and also knows everyone else does etc. everyone will guess 2x/3 so the average will be 2x/3. But we defined x as the average so we have x = 2x/3. The only solution to this equation is x=0. Of course in practice the average is almost never 0 and there are reasons to guess something other than 0. One is if you're not smart enough to figure out the game, another is if you think other players aren't smart enough to figure out the game, or you might think other players think that other players aren't smart enough, etc. making this difficult to win with any real consistency.
@Eric Lee move the terms to one side then factor then divide. x = 2x/3 -> x - 2x/3 = 0 -> x(1 - 2/3) = 0 -> x=0. You can also kinda "guess" the answer by noticing any other number would change when multiplied by 2/3.
Not every one thinks that way. So you thinking that way really just makes you a follower and not a leader. Unless now that you said that everyone is going to start thinking that way...
@@saphired02 well no. You don't even seem to understand the meaning of that sentence. Human can use lying words but not lying actions. Their actions reflect who they are because words and thinking can be deceived.
@@KAIKIN Even actions can be decieving. To truly get the best outcome, you have to utilize all of them equally, and even then, not every situation is the same. To rely only on one sense is setting yourself up for failure.
I always thought of people's decision making being based on their 'level of thinking', which was dependent on what level they thought the opponent was on, and thinking one level higher than that. Like how chess masters think ahead of their opponents, and how in death note L and Light used multiple layers of reasoning. Today I learned it actually has a name, and is called k-level of reasoning, wow.
"1" would be a more robust choice. 2/3 of 1 is .66 which rounds to 1. 1 is closer to higher numbers than 0, so it would tolerate more change from people guessing randomly (since their average would be closer than if "0" was picked). Basically 1 is also a correct choice, so I don't see a nash equilibrium here. And if few people were to answer randomly, 1 would yield a more robust average, being more tolerant to changes while still granting a win if everyone acted logically.
If you choose .66, the 2/3 game still applies, so it'll forever get closer to 0, between 0 and 1 you can find an infinite quantity of decimals... It'll always get closer to 0...
You guessed wrong then. The point is to get the answer that reflects what other people will have chosen, not find the nash equilibrium. No horse needed.
I'm part of the people believing not everyone is rational. Theorically, you're right but it's the internet and people are gonna troll and post other numbers. It's almost impossible to tell an entire community to do one thing if they have the opportunity to change the stakes
0 is the most logical if everyone thinks the same, but take me for example, I believe there will be people that won't choose 0, so I'll choose something bigger than 0, if there're many people like me, even knowing the logical answer, we won't answer 0. But what I can guess is that since more people know the most logical answer is 0, the new result will be closer to 0.
Just btw, to this question, the answer at the highest K level also, given that the average is to be a whole numbered value and the numbers whose average is taken are also whole numbers, would not reach 0. It would be 1. This is because at the last assumption, 2/3rds of 1 is 0.67 (but only if we allow non-integer type values, which are not allowed). This results in the 0.67 to be converted back to 1 (as 1 is closer to 0.67 than 0), n then this process is repeated infinite no. of times, each time the no. being 1 n not 0. Therefore, the correct answer (assuming everyone is K12 lvl intelligent), should be 1 n not 0.
I would like to point out something that I think ted forgot. Since the question is to select an INTEGER from 0-100 then once you reach to 1 and then take 2/3 of that, after rounding it you get 1. Thus you will never get to 0 on any k level.
@0:24 I think the use of past tense ("...of all numbers guessed") here obscures what is being said. When the game is described as guessing 2/3 of the average number "guessed" that makes it seem like another group of participants have already picked numbers from 1 to 100, and the current participants are trying to guess 2/3 of that. It is better to say that the goal is to pick a number that is 2/3 of what the average guesses *will be*.
I don't understand how it goes down to zero. Shouldn't it stop at 1 (the Nash Equilibrium) 'cause two-thirds of 1 is 2/3 and the closest integer to that is 1.
Reminds me of a story of a man who was supposed to be executed within the week, but would not know which day it would be because his captors wanted it to be uncertain to him, a surprise. He concluded that he would not be executed on the last day because then he would know that day that his time was up. He used this sane reasoning to exclude the second to last day, and eventually all the other days, before concluding he was not going to be executed at all. This ensured that the captors were able to execute him whichever day they felt like and succeed in surprising him.
Holly cow! I thought everyone would say 0! This video just blew my mind. I'll now expect other people to be dimmer then I expected before. This also gives insight about how many steps ahead people usually think, which is nice to know.
It would be a true leap of faith to think every single person in a room would choose the exact same answer while they simultaneously trust everyone else to also choose the same answer based on the same reasoning. I wouldn’t bet my cat on it.
that's in fact a missing logic level from yourself . you should guess that there would be trolls increasing the value on purpose and other thinkers guessing that trolls would do that , there for they would also increase their bet , and so one .
I paused the video at the beginning to make my guess: 13. I figured the other people's answers would be a combination of people guessing zero or one, people guessing two-thirds of the average of people guessing at random, the people who actually are guessing at random, and a few people misunderstanding the question and just guessing two thirds of the total.
Since trolls choose randomly like a K0 player, you can simply assume the average of 100, IOW 50. For K1 players, they will answer the 2/3 of 50, ie 33, and so on.
@@ifurkend I don't think trolls choose randomly, I believe they'll mostly choose the furthest option of what it's expected, so they'll mostly choose around 100. The problem is if they represent a important factor or they can be ignored
Jc Ts So equally a good portion of trolls would choose numbers close or equal to zero as well. The thing is this “guess 2/3 of average” (a variant of the “Keynesian beauty contest”) game is nothing new, and it shows consistent results as long as you have a large enough pool of partcipants, in which trolls’ presence is almost guaranteed. Therefore it is acceptable to either assume trolls as k-zero players or ignore them.
@@naret03 Trolls constitute a major problem as they are not only players with varying rationality, but they are not trying to win the game, but rather spoil it for as many people as possible. Goal is not win, but prevent equilibrium.
I think there is three possibilities: 1. If people don't mind others also winning the game, then the answer would be 0. (I don't think this would happen); 2. If people don't want others to win the game but knowing that the average K-level reasoning is 1-2, they will guess 18, then the answer would be 12. (But that won't be the case because knowing that others also know that they wouldn't choose 33-22); 3. If people don't want others to win the game but know that others know about the k-level infographic, they'll assume that people will choose a lower number, and guees something between 1-4, then the answer would be 1-2. (This looks like real human behavior, thus i think it's the right one)
Most people stop at 1 or 2 k-levels, so sharing the information will add an additional 1-2 k-levels such that the total becomes 3-4 k-levels. Thus making the mean guess ~(⅔)^4, and the answer to the game ~(⅔)^5 = 13.1

Yo 4 years late, but it is not a Nash equilibrium, take the game with 2 people for example. 4 cases: A picks 0, B picks 0, A 0 B 1, A 1 B 0, A 1 B 1; If both pick 0, 0 wins. If one picks 0 and the other one picks 1, 0 still wins (0,5 average *0,66 is closer to 0 than to 1) If both pick 1, 1 wins. Therefore 0 wins no matter what the other guy picks, while 1 doesnt.

sameeeeee!!!! i get so stoked whenever i have a 6 game winning streak lol
@Abhinandan Katoch Back when Club Penguin was still around, the idea was that you had a trio of basic cards. Water, fire, and snow. Fire beats snow, snow beats water, and water beats fire. Cards are numbered 2-12 and if you guess the same element, the one with higher numbers beats the other, and if they are still tied, the round is null.
Each card also has a colour, and so you win by either having three cards of the same element in all three different colours or three cards of different elements of three different colours. You can see what your opponent's colours have been, and have a record of your own.
Ergo, you are able to guess that the other player will be more likely to choose cards that help them win the game and get to that diversity of cards, but the other player knows this much of you just as much and also knows that you would prefer to play cards that help you win in the same way, and you know that they know, they know that you know that they know, and so on. It was a brilliant game.
@@robertjarman3703 BACK WHEN CLUB PENGUIN WAS STILL AROUND??? it still is... I just played 2-3 months back and FK i felt so nostalgic, also its boring now... it was good when we/I were a kid but know its just too little content.
For the “second round” of the 2/3 game, I’m expecting at least half of the people to remember “0 is the best answer” and pick zero, and half to pick random numbers, pick 100 to be trolls, still pick 50 because the math is confusing, or pick 60 because the math is confusing. I pick 33.
I'm K negative.. because there is category group of people who didn't understand the question itself...?🤔...includes myself🙄
LOL
I am in that group too, maybe because I didn't see the original wording or maybe there was a video explaining the question that I did not see.
well like its simply trying to guess what everyone thinks like at k0 no one thinks so u go with a random number but at k1 u assume there are k0 ppl and try to guess a number now u assume there are k1 ppl its basically u having a certain thought process and answering based upon if everyone had the thought process . And a tip if u are trying to understand things easily try to like explain it to urself out loud as if u are explaining it to someone else if u read this thank you for taking time to read this.
The question is really 3 steps:
1st: people guessed a number between 1-100
2nd: what do you think is the average number guessed for all numbers recorded?
3rd: The real question. Now that you have that average number in mind, what whole number is 2/3 of it?
So if you think the average was 60, then your answer is 2/3 of 60 which is 40.
I know your comment is old but I hope it helped!
star trillion I’m confuse how people would be able to guess the right answer
If we're all smart and we know we're all smart, then the question essentially is...
What is the value of x if 2/3 of x is also x?

@@isieg575 yes, exactly, as the video said.
@@whynot9579 I'm not smart enough to explain with the inclusion of dummies as they can not be predicted without statistics.
@@whynot9579 If everyone playing is a perfect logician and also knows that every other player is, then the reasoning is as follows: There will be some average x, since everyone playing knows this and also knows everyone else does etc. everyone will guess 2x/3 so the average will be 2x/3. But we defined x as the average so we have x = 2x/3. The only solution to this equation is x=0.
Of course in practice the average is almost never 0 and there are reasons to guess something other than 0. One is if you're not smart enough to figure out the game, another is if you think other players aren't smart enough to figure out the game, or you might think other players think that other players aren't smart enough, etc. making this difficult to win with any real consistency.
@Eric Lee move the terms to one side then factor then divide. x = 2x/3 -> x - 2x/3 = 0 -> x(1 - 2/3) = 0 -> x=0.
You can also kinda "guess" the answer by noticing any other number would change when multiplied by 2/3.

Growth is a process - let’s keep at it!
I always thought of people's decision making being based on their 'level of thinking', which was dependent on what level they thought the opponent was on, and thinking one level higher than that. Like how chess masters think ahead of their opponents, and how in death note L and Light used multiple layers of reasoning.

Short, sweet and got me a good understanding and filled with good detail and good material.
this is also called the keynesian beauty contest! one of my favorite concepts in math
"1" would be a more robust choice.
2/3 of 1 is .66 which rounds to 1.
1 is closer to higher numbers than 0, so it would tolerate more change from people guessing randomly (since their average would be closer than if "0" was picked).
Basically 1 is also a correct choice, so I don't see a nash equilibrium here. And if few people were to answer randomly, 1 would yield a more robust average, being more tolerant to changes while still granting a win if everyone acted logically.
Dude nice math! 👍
If you choose .66, the 2/3 game still applies, so it'll forever get closer to 0, between 0 and 1 you can find an infinite quantity of decimals... It'll always get closer to 0...

i guessed 0 after like 40 seconds of thinking, someone needs to get me off my high horse
You guessed wrong then. The point is to get the answer that reflects what other people will have chosen, not find the nash equilibrium. No horse needed.

0- as I feel like once everyone’s been told the most logical knowing that everyone else was told it they should all go there?
They said don't post your answer here, there's a link in their top comment to a website they want people to give their guesses at :)
I'm part of the people believing not everyone is rational. Theorically, you're right but it's the internet and people are gonna troll and post other numbers. It's almost impossible to tell an entire community to do one thing if they have the opportunity to change the stakes
0 is the most logical if everyone thinks the same, but take me for example, I believe there will be people that won't choose 0, so I'll choose something bigger than 0, if there're many people like me, even knowing the logical answer, we won't answer 0. But what I can guess is that since more people know the most logical answer is 0, the new result will be closer to 0.
Just btw, to this question, the answer at the highest K level also, given that the average is to be a whole numbered value and the numbers whose average is taken are also whole numbers, would not reach 0. It would be 1. This is because at the last assumption, 2/3rds of 1 is 0.67 (but only if we allow non-integer type values, which are not allowed). This results in the 0.67 to be converted back to 1 (as 1 is closer to 0.67 than 0), n then this process is repeated infinite no. of times, each time the no. being 1 n not 0. Therefore, the correct answer (assuming everyone is K12 lvl intelligent), should be 1 n not 0.

I love how I click on these every time thinking the videos will be simple
I would like to point out something that I think ted forgot.
Since the question is to select an INTEGER from 0-100 then once you reach to 1 and then take 2/3 of that, after rounding it you get 1. Thus you will never get to 0 on any k level.
it confuses me with that 67
That's exactly what I thought.

@0:24 I think the use of past tense ("...of all numbers guessed") here obscures what is being said. When the game is described as guessing 2/3 of the average number "guessed" that makes it seem like another group of participants have already picked numbers from 1 to 100, and the current participants are trying to guess 2/3 of that. It is better to say that the goal is to pick a number that is 2/3 of what the average guesses *will be*.
It would have been interesting to see the graph of the guesses.
I don't understand how it goes down to zero. Shouldn't it stop at 1 (the Nash Equilibrium) 'cause two-thirds of 1 is 2/3 and the closest integer to that is 1.
So, when someone says they're on a different level, this is what they mean.

Aaah, finally an explanation.
My guess was 22, I'm so proud of myself.
Reminds me of a story of a man who was supposed to be executed within the week, but would not know which day it would be because his captors wanted it to be uncertain to him, a surprise. He concluded that he would not be executed on the last day because then he would know that day that his time was up. He used this sane reasoning to exclude the second to last day, and eventually all the other days, before concluding he was not going to be executed at all.
This ensured that the captors were able to execute him whichever day they felt like and succeed in surprising him.
Holly cow! I thought everyone would say 0! This video just blew my mind. I'll now expect other people to be dimmer then I expected before. This also gives insight about how many steps ahead people usually think, which is nice to know.
It would be a true leap of faith to think every single person in a room would choose the exact same answer while they simultaneously trust everyone else to also choose the same answer based on the same reasoning.
I wouldn’t bet my cat on it.
So sometimes it’s beneficial to think less. I am gonna be SOOOOO good at that!
I went straight to zero.. That means I was expecting others to play in the most logical way.. which turn out to be not common.
ay, same (turns out it's more common than you think)
that's in fact a missing logic level from yourself . you should guess that there would be trolls increasing the value on purpose and other thinkers guessing that trolls would do that , there for they would also increase their bet , and so one .
I chose 44 because middle ground somehow
18 seconds into this video and I can produly say I have completely no idea whats going on.
Well if everybody is logical then zero if their participants all know, but, we all like being a little different so; i'll say 4

I paused the video at the beginning to make my guess: 13.
I figured the other people's answers would be a combination of people guessing zero or one, people guessing two-thirds of the average of people guessing at random, the people who actually are guessing at random, and a few people misunderstanding the question and just guessing two thirds of the total.
But remember! It´s just a theory, a GAME theory!
This voice is so good & does a good job
Do we have to consider trolls for the second guess? :P
Yeah, I guessed 100.
Since trolls choose randomly like a K0 player, you can simply assume the average of 100, IOW 50. For K1 players, they will answer the 2/3 of 50, ie 33, and so on.
@@ifurkend I don't think trolls choose randomly, I believe they'll mostly choose the furthest option of what it's expected, so they'll mostly choose around 100. The problem is if they represent a important factor or they can be ignored
Jc Ts So equally a good portion of trolls would choose numbers close or equal to zero as well. The thing is this “guess 2/3 of average” (a variant of the “Keynesian beauty contest”) game is nothing new, and it shows consistent results as long as you have a large enough pool of partcipants, in which trolls’ presence is almost guaranteed. Therefore it is acceptable to either assume trolls as k-zero players or ignore them.
@@naret03 Trolls constitute a major problem as they are not only players with varying rationality, but they are not trying to win the game, but rather spoil it for as many people as possible. Goal is not win, but prevent equilibrium.

2:21 “pOliTiKeN” :)) just kidding. Great video.
I thought people would choose 50 so i guessed 33.. I'm at k=1.. I'm so proud
I think there is three possibilities:
1. If people don't mind others also winning the game, then the answer would be 0. (I don't think this would happen);
2. If people don't want others to win the game but knowing that the average K-level reasoning is 1-2, they will guess 18, then the answer would be 12. (But that won't be the case because knowing that others also know that they wouldn't choose 33-22);
3. If people don't want others to win the game but know that others know about the k-level infographic, they'll assume that people will choose a lower number, and guees something between 1-4, then the answer would be 1-2. (This looks like real human behavior, thus i think it's the right one)
"so if you guessed 21... Well done"
Me: "I was calculating that for the past 24 hours..! and I don't even get a fricking award... Screw this!"
Most people stop at 1 or 2 k-levels, so sharing the information will add an additional 1-2 k-levels such that the total becomes 3-4 k-levels. Thus making the mean guess ~(⅔)^4, and the answer to the game ~(⅔)^5 = 13.1
Omg... right after weed, this is something something exceptionally to realize...
Hank, the pepe Lu Haha...right after Vyvanse, the large amount of time I wasted focused on this is something exceptional to realize.
I’d recognize that the answer shrinks as you do additional loops and guess the asymptotic limit: 0. What k-level is that?
