Abstract
Consider the dilemma of a professor who has handed back an exam to his students, but has forgotten to record their grades – can he develop a scheme that will provide each student the incentive to report his grade truthfully? This situation is used as an in-class exercise which develops the students’ understanding of a Nash equilibrium and of how to use game theory to solve interesting everyday problems.
