But here’s the catch: if you win the race, you get to keep the car. If you lose, then your car will self-destruct in a few seconds, potentially putting your life at risk.
A more faithful analogy has any of the carsexplodewith significant probability, possibly with the leading car exploding first (which is how we get to know it was the leading car), and also the explosion is big enough that it takes out all participants as well as spectators.
Haha I see! Well, we are assuming in this scenario that we have a third person point of view via which we get to know which is the leading car and which is not when the race begins (much like Hunger Games style surveillance cameras). But I totally agree that the probability of the car exploding to be so big as to take all participants and spectators is a more faithful analogy to reality.
