Two players, A and B, and the Casino play a game. It involves showing zeros or ones: each player picks 0/1 and also the Casino picks 0/1.
- If the Casino and both players A and B show the same number (000 or 111), then the two players win the game.
- But in case not all three chosen numbers are identical, the Casino wins.
Altogether there are nine rounds. Now it happens that player A is going to learn some illegal information, just seconds before the game starts: A is going to learn the Casino's choice for each of the coming nine rounds. Unfortunately, there is no way of communicating this information to player B without the Casino noticing. The only way of communicating is via the cards chosen by A.
The evening before this game, A and B meet and agree on a common strategy. Is there a strategy that guarantees them to win at least 5 of the 9 rounds? And is there a strategy that guarantees at least 6 wins?
