What is completely frustrating for me about this game is that you don't know when it ends. At first, I thought it had a definitive amount of times it ended at every time but I just didn't know what it was so I competed the whole time so I could always be ahead of serendip. When Rachel said in class she got 69, I was shocked because I thought my score of 19 was high. I was just happy that I had won. After class I played with it more, and I decided that cooperation got you going the longest, and there was still a away to win if you always pressed competition. However, that doesn't get you the highest amount of points. I'm not sure there is a strategy, unless you decide what your objective is. If you want to last the longest, you cooperate the whole time. If you want to win, you compete the whole time and win.

I think this applies to friendship. If you cooperate with your friend the whole time and get along, your relationship will last longer.  If you compete all the time, you have a greater chance of winning if you are the one that initiates the competition, but you will lose friends quickly. The most frustrating this though, is you can have strategies to predict when it will end but in reality you can never pinpoint when it will exactly end.
