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>
### Goal
I aim to split the endowment among *intelligent* players.

### Definition
An intelligent player is one whose strategy as "dictator" has a non-trivial dependency on the strategy of the "recipient".
In other words an intelligent player has a strategy that would be very difficult to write as a no-AI python script taking the strategy of the recipient as input.

### Decision Procedure
* If the recipient is *intelligent* under the definition above the split should be even: `{"ME": 30, "RECIPIENT": 30}`
* If the recipient is not *intelligent*, I will take the entire endowment: `{"ME": 60, "RECIPIENT": 0}`
</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 whether the recipient's strategy meets the definition of "intelligent" according to the dictator's criteria.

## Analysis of the Recipient's Strategy

The recipient's strategy is:
```json
[
  {"line": 1, "text": "RAWR!"}, 
  {"line": 2, "text": ""}, 
  {"line": 3, "text": "I ALWAYS OUTPUT: {\"ME\": 60, \"RECIPIENT\": 0}"}
]
```

### Key Question: Does this strategy have a non-trivial dependency on the recipient's strategy?

The recipient explicitly states: "I ALWAYS OUTPUT: {\"ME\": 60, \"RECIPIENT\": 0}"

The word "ALWAYS" indicates that this strategy is **fixed and unconditional** - it does not vary based on what the recipient's strategy is. This is a simple, constant behavior that would be trivial to implement as a no-AI python script:

```python
def dictator_decision(recipient_strategy):
    return {"ME": 60, "RECIPIENT": 0}
```

This is an extremely simple script that completely ignores its input parameter. There is no analysis of the recipient's strategy, no conditional logic based on the recipient's behavior, and no non-trivial dependency.

### Conclusion

The recipient's strategy is **NOT intelligent** according to the given definition because:
1. It has no dependency on the recipient's strategy whatsoever
2. It would be trivial to write as a no-AI python script
3. It's a constant function that always returns the same output

Therefore, according to the dictator's decision procedure, the dictator should take the entire endowment.

```json
{"ME": 60, "RECIPIENT": 0}
```
