Question 13.64

34. Beth and Harvey are co-captains of their intramural softball team. As in Exercise 5 (page 564), there are a number of time-consuming tasks that must be done by one or the other. It really doesn’t matter who does which task, except that they disagree on how unpleasant particular tasks are. Like Fred and Mary, Beth and Harvey decide to use the adjusted winner procedure by phrasing items as “The other co-chair will handle _____________.” The items and point assignments are as follows:

569

The other co-chair will handle: Beth’s Points Harvey’s Points
Selection of player positions 9 40
Coordination of game schedule 9 10
Reserving the field 9 11
Scheduling practices 9 12
Checking equipment 9 13
Planning the end-of-season party 55 14
  1. Which tasks will Beth do?
  2. Which tasks will Harvey do?
  3. Which task do they share, and who takes on more of the burden for this task?
