I think it would have been different if it was 5 random people. In that case, they could have been more ruthless as they didn't have friendships that they wanted to preserve. e.g for example if mike singled out one person in the last round and only gave 1200 to 3 people.,(reply>), Yes this needs to be replayed with totally random strangers,(reply>), No, I'm fairly sure the taxi was so he could avoid talking to the others after the game had finished - it didn't  mean he could leave with the $6k, otherwise the whole voting mechanic made no sense.,(reply>), @WokeClub he could walk out with it all but he didn’t.,(reply>), @Nikhil Aggarwal Yea. When if he walked out, he too doesn't get the the 6k right? Or does he? Unlikely, Cuz if he did get it while walking out, and if these were 5 random people, that'd be the obvious scenario and that's not what this game or game theory is about.,(reply>), @salas misto I think that bit was a little confusing when Tom said it. I think what he meant was that Mike had to play the game and offer deals but the taxi was there if he couldn't face everyone after the game was finished
