Well I will say on thing; 3 minutes of that was more amusing than that stupid "Deal or No Deal" with Howie Mandel.

The guy very quickly assumed the girl was going to split, so was focused almost entirely on convincing the girl that he was honestly going to take the split. He made almost no effort to elicit any clues from her, and he made no effort to judge her.

Pretty entertaining play on the classic Prisoner's Dilemma.

Let's look at the math of the decision:

If you choose split, you have a 50% chance of 50% of the prize and a 50% chance of 0%.
If you choose steal, you have a 50% chance of 100% of the prize and a 50% chance of 0%.

So, the better choice is steal.

I emailed this video to a friend. This was his response;

This is a classic male/female interaction. He's reassuring and protective. She acts scared and vulnerable. Meanwhile, she's cleaning out his wallet and probably screwing his best friend.

I would have split it if it was a guy and stole it if it was a girl.

I don't get it.

If the guy stole it, per the the scenario in the video, he still would have received nothing.

Sure, the gal would also get nothing, but what would be the point? At least someone got something, and his honor is intact.
