When do members in Position Z lose the points that they Kept to members in Position A?
If members in Position Z invest fewer points in their Challenge pool than members in Position A invested in their Challenge pool,
members in Position A are successful (
).
This means that the points that members in Position Z Kept will be transferred to the members in Position A.
That is, each member in Position A earns the total number of points that members in Position Z Kept divided by 2 (i.e., shared equally among both members) + the points that each member in Position A Kept themselves.
Each member in Position Z earns 0 points in this case (all their Kept points are transferred to Position A).
Example
Members start with 20 points.
Each member in Position A invests 10 points in their group’s Challenge pool (Challenge pool of Position A), and Keeps 10 points to themselves.
Thus, Position A’s Challenge pool consists of 10 + 10 = 20 points.
Each member in Position Z invests 5 points in their group’s Challenge pool (Challenge pool of Position Z), and Keeps 15 points to themselves.
Thus, Position Z’s Challenge pool consists of 5 + 5 = 10 points.
Outcome
Since Position Z’s Challenge pool contains fewer points than Position A’s Challenge pool,
the members in Position A will receive all the points that the members in Position Z Kept.
Thus, the members in Position A each earn 30 (total points Kept by Position Z) / 2 = 15 points in addition to what they Kept for themselves (10 points).
Earnings
Each member in Position A earns (10 + 15 =) 25 points.
Each member in Position Z earns 0 points (all their Kept points are transferred to Position A).
Remember that points invested in the Challenge pool are spent and do not count towards the final payout at the end of the experiment.
