C
Players will change their strategies continuously.
D
Players will never reach a Nash Equilibrium.
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
Answer
In a game where players do not know each other's strategies, a Nash Equilibrium occurs when each player has chosen their best strategy given what they think the other players are doing. At this point, no player can benefit by changing their strategy alone, meaning they are all making the best decisions they can based on their limited information. For example, imagine two friends playing a guessing game where each has to choose a number from 1 to 10. If they both choose 5 because they think the other will also choose that number, they have reached a Nash Equilibrium; neither will change their number because they believe changing it will not improve their chances of winning. However, if one player discovers new information about the other’s strategy, they might adjust their choice, potentially breaking the equilibrium.
Detailed Explanation
At Nash Equilibrium, each player picks a strategy that gives them the best result, based on what they think others will do. Other options are incorrect because Some might think everyone will pick the same strategy; It's a common mistake to think players will keep changing their strategies.
