In the little town of Gas Pump, South Dakota, there are two gas stations across the street from each other, the East station and the West station. A local ordinance requires that they are permitted to change the price of gasoline only once a week at precisely 8:00 a. m. on Monday and in 5 cent increments. For some time, the price of gasoline has been stable at $1.50 per gallon, but midweek, the price each station pays for gasoline changed to $1.44.

1.4 5,5 10,0 10,0
East 1.5 0,10 30,30 60,0
1.5 0,10 0,60 55,55
