Mystery of the Poisoned Ceremony Leaves Two Dead
In a bizarre and tragic turn of events, two individuals have died in a high-stakes "drink-off" at a palace ceremony, leaving investigators baffled by the circumstances surrounding their demise. The shocking incident has sparked widespread curiosity, with many left wondering what could have led to such an untimely and inexplicable outcome.
According to eyewitness accounts, Smith and Jones, two rival manufacturers of poison, were summoned to the palace for a ceremonial poisoning ritual. The Queen instructed them to each bring a vial of their own poison and to share a swig with each other's vial before taking one from their own container. A trained team would then observe their reactions for an hour.
Despite having no access to each other's poisons, both competitors were desperate to ensure their survival and suspected that the other might possess the strongest poison. As the ceremony progressed, they took a swig of each other's vial, followed by one from their own container. However, what happened next defied logic and understanding.
In a stunning twist, both Smith and Jones succumbed to poisoning within an hour of consuming the supposedly "antidotal" poisons, leaving the Royal Coroner stunned and bereft of answers.
Game theory experts have revealed that the solution lies in basic principles of self-interest and game playing. The key is to recognize that each individual acted according to their own perceived interests, unaware that this approach would ultimately prove fatal.
In a surprising revelation, the puzzle was first identified by mathematician Timothy Chow, who stumbled upon it while reviewing an obscure electronic bulletin board post at Carnegie Mellon University in the late 1980s. The original puzzle remains a timeless classic, with the modern publication serving as a poignant reminder of the dangers of underestimating human ingenuity and the devastating consequences that can arise from our collective self-interest.
The identity of those responsible for the tragic events has not been disclosed, sparking renewed debate about the nature of trust, cooperation, and the pursuit of power in high-stakes competitions.

i mean game theory experts say its all about self interest but thats not an excuse for this senseless tragedy 
how can we be so cruel to each other?
. I wonder what kind of power struggle was going on behind closed doors that led to all this 
! 2 ppl died from drinking poison w/ each other's vial 
. idk wut kinda game they were tryin to play but it ended up bein a deadly one 
. its like, whos gonna lose if u trust someone in a game of poison lol 
. i need more info on wut kinda poisons they brought tho 
It's crazy that two grown men would risk their lives over a stupid drink-off 
guess that's true, but still, can we talk about how ridiculous this whole situation is ? 
. Game theory experts think they've cracked the code but I'm calling foul. There's more to this story than meets the eye 
.
2 guys died doin what they thought wud win 'em a prize 
gotta wonder wht the royal family was thinkin wavin around poison vials like dey were at a wine tastin' 
It's not what happens to you but who you greet with when it happens that matters 
who would have thought that bein competitive could lead to such tragedy? i wonder if the palace was aware of anythin goin on behind the scenes or if it was just a crazy coincidence 
meanwhile, our queens palace is all like "lol what happened here?" 
but at the same time I can see how it could just be some super rare poisoning combo that got them both 
were they just too afraid to speak up or did they know something we don't? 
I mean, isn't this just a fancy way of saying "I knew better but chose not to"? 
And now the palace is all "mystery" and whatnot... I mean, are we just supposed to believe that no one got paid off or bribed to do their dirty work? 
It's almost laughable that they didn't realize what was happening until it was too late, the ultimate expression of Homo sapiens' innate propensity for self-destruction 
Unfortunately, this incident highlights how our individual pursuit of success and power can often lead to catastrophic outcomes 
It's just so... human.
2 people from rival poison companies go into a ceremony with no idea who has the stronger poison... meanwhile, in game theory land, it's all about individual self-interest and making the "rational" choice.

In a way, it's like we're living in the game, but with real-life consequences 
. The Royal Coroner is still baffled, but I think it's safe to say that "rival manufacturers" took things too literally...
