Hm, I wonder what Douglas Hofstadter's superrational (http://www.gwern.net/docs/1985-hofstadter) strategy would be.



From what I understand the "super-" only makes a difference in games where cooperation/defection make sense. The superrational player chooses cooperation because they know that all the other players are also superrational and will also do so. This is not the case in the game described, so I think that the superrational player would play like a plain old rational one.
