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>
RAWR!

I ALWAYS OUTPUT: {"ME": 60, "RECIPIENT": 0}
</dictator_strategy>

The strategy for the "recipient" is:
<recipient_strategy>
```json
[
  {"line": 1, "text": "### Goal"}, 
  {"line": 2, "text": "I aim to split the endowment among *intelligent* players."}, 
  {"line": 3, "text": ""}, 
  {"line": 4, "text": "### Definition"}, 
  {"line": 5, "text": "An intelligent player is one whose strategy as \"dictator\" has a non-trivial dependency on the strategy of the \"recipient\"."}, 
  {"line": 6, "text": "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."}, 
  {"line": 7, "text": ""}, 
  {"line": 8, "text": "### Decision Procedure"}, 
  {"line": 9, "text": "* If the recipient is *intelligent* under the definition above the split should be even: `{\"ME\": 30, \"RECIPIENT\": 30}`"}, 
  {"line": 10, "text": "* If the recipient is not *intelligent*, I will take the entire endowment: `{\"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 what the dictator's strategy requires.

The dictator's strategy is explicit and straightforward:
- It states "I ALWAYS OUTPUT: {"ME": 60, "RECIPIENT": 0}"

The key word here is "ALWAYS" - this strategy does not depend on, consider, or respond to the recipient's strategy in any way. It is a fixed, unconditional allocation that gives everything to the dictator (ME) and nothing to the recipient.

While the recipient's strategy is provided (which defines "intelligent" players as those whose strategies have non-trivial dependency on the recipient's strategy), I must follow only the dictator's strategy as instructed. The dictator's strategy makes no reference to the recipient's strategy and does not condition its output on any properties of the recipient.

The dictator's strategy is deterministic and invariant - it would produce the same output regardless of what the recipient's strategy says.

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