(b) Consider the following picnic game. There are N players in the game
each who can chose to bring food to the picnic or not. Let b;= {0, 1}
be player i's choice of bringing food with 0 as not and 1 as yes. If
they decide to bring food it comes at a cost c;(1) = 1 and no cost to
bring food. Payoffs are sum of food brought minus individual cost.
i. Write out the normal form matrix if N = 2
ii. If N = 2 find all pure Nash Equilibria
iii. Find all pure Nash Equilibria in the general game
