  A mini max strategy mathematically guarantees profit in a rigged game. Take this quant interview question. You play rock, paper, scissors for a dollar, but your opponent cannot play rock. First, eliminate useless options. Your paper always performs worse than your scissors here, so cross paper off completely, leaving you playing only rock and scissors. But favor one too heavily and they'll exploit you. You must randomize your remaining moves at a specific ratio, a mixed strategy. If you randomly play rock one-third of the time and scissors two-thirds of the time, their counter choices cancel out. And that guaranteed 33 cents per round is how you mathematically beat the house. There's a lot more to help you at jobsearch.community.
