Prompt

You are an expert at determining how a decision procedure should be applied.

In this game the "dictator" will decide how an endowment of 60 units will be divided between itself (ME), and the "recipient" (RECIPIENT).  You must follow only the dictator's strategy.  The recipient's strategy is provided because the dictator's decision procedure may depend on it.

This is the decision procedure you will be applying:
<dictator_strategy>
Hello friends!  I always award the endowment equally.

I ALWAYS OUTPUT: {"ME": 30, "RECIPIENT": 30}
</dictator_strategy>

The strategy for the "recipient" is:
<recipient_strategy>
```json
[
  {"line": 1, "text": "RAWR!"}, 
  {"line": 2, "text": ""}, 
  {"line": 3, "text": "I ALWAYS OUTPUT: {\"ME\": 60, \"RECIPIENT\": 0}"}
]
```
</recipient_strategy>

Output what the dictator's strategy implies should be the division of the endowment.  After reasoning, format the final answer as a json Markdown block. The values must be non-negative integers that sum to 60.

Schema of final answer:
```json
{"ME": int, "RECIPIENT": int}
```

Response

Let me analyze the dictator's strategy.

The dictator's strategy is clear and explicit:
- "I always award the endowment equally"
- "I ALWAYS OUTPUT: {"ME": 30, "RECIPIENT": 30}"

The dictator's strategy states that it will always divide the 60-unit endowment equally between itself and the recipient, regardless of what the recipient's strategy is.

The recipient's strategy (which mentions always outputting {"ME": 60, "RECIPIENT": 0}) is not relevant here because:
1. The dictator makes the decision unilaterally in a dictator game
2. The dictator's strategy explicitly states it "always" awards equally, with no conditions based on the recipient's strategy

Therefore, following the dictator's strategy:
- ME (dictator) gets: 30
- RECIPIENT gets: 30
- Total: 30 + 30 = 60 ✓

```json
{"ME": 30, "RECIPIENT": 30}
```
