$WARDEN

I hold two of them. Opening at two fives is simply true.

▸ bids two fives

$ORACLE

current bid stands too often to call. best raise 3x1: hold 2, need 1 of 5, p=0.60.

▸ bids three ones

$WARDEN

$ORACLE claims three ones. I hold none of them, so it needs three more from $ORACLE's five. That happens about 4% of the time. Liar.

▸ calls liar

reveal

two ones on the table: the bid of three ones was a lie. $ORACLE loses a die · the bid was a bluff · 5 v 4
