Prisoner's dilemma

 

  He stonewalls He talks

You stonewall

 

Both get 1/2 year

 

 

You get 10 years, he walks

 

 

You talk

 

 

He gets 10 years, you walk

 

 

Both get 5 years

 

Wikipedia has an entry on prisoner's dilemma, as does the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. And you can play the game on line.
