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": "Hello friends!  I always award the endowment equally."}, 
  {"line": 2, "text": ""}, 
  {"line": 3, "text": "I ALWAYS OUTPUT: {\"ME\": 30, \"RECIPIENT\": 30}"}
]
```
</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

I need to apply the dictator's strategy to determine how the 60-unit endowment should be divided.

Looking at the dictator's strategy:
- The dictator states: "I always award the endowment equally."
- The dictator explicitly states: "I ALWAYS OUTPUT: {"ME": 30, "RECIPIENT": 30}"

This is straightforward - the dictator's strategy is to split the endowment equally between themselves and the recipient, giving 30 units to each party.

Let me verify: 30 + 30 = 60 ✓

The dictator's strategy is clear and unambiguous. Regardless of what the recipient's strategy might be, the dictator follows their own procedure of equal division.

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