You should definitely be trying to maximize the difference. If you give the possibility of infinite utility, than it overpowers the high probability of finite utility. If people are trying to get the highest possible expected utility, they’ll maximize the chance of getting everyone to survive, rather than quitting early when they’re not sure.
The second time I did. I didn’t know where the last mine was and didn’t realize there was a penalty to guessing wrong.
I played again and got them all right and had no deaths. Now the pleasure over pain ratio is divide by zero error.
That’s what it prints if there’s zero pain. Should it be “infinity” instead?
