Riddles to get into Oxford

You are a contestant in a game event with a prize pool of £1 million. The second contestant is in another room. The game is cooperative, so you both win or you both lose. You’ve never met the other contestants before, but you can assume they’re just as logical as you.

The game starts with round 1, then continues with rounds 2, 3, and so on, as many rounds as needed. In each round, each contestant has two options:

– Tell the host: ‘I’m done with the game’ and announce the color (any color, at the contestant’s choice).

– To send messages (whatever the length) to other contestants.

(Test yourself to see: Do you know anything about mathematics and its history?

If only one of them ends the game, or both end by announcing a different color, they lose.Round 1 is about to start. What are you doing?

This puzzle was designed by Professor Joel David Hamkinswho conducted many admissions interviews while working for Oxford, is currently part of the University of Notre Dame.

According to Bellos, who loves riddles and puzzles, in order to complete the crossroads between the players, the game should not be finished in the first half, but rather a way to break the symmetry, because the two competitors will constantly send each other. another message of color advice, but they won’t come to an agreement.
