There was a SQL and Python challenge, which I was nervous about since I had not worked with it for a while. They looked at my thought process more so than accuracy.

We are playing a game that involves three doors, numbered 1 to 3. The game involves two stages. You must pay 1 dollar to play the first stage and 1 dollar to play the second stage. In the first stage I hide Y dollars behind one of the three doors. You then guess which door the money is behind and if you are correct, you keep the money. If you are incorrect, I will tell you if the door number is higher or lower than the one you chose. (A) What is your optimal strategy assuming I hide the money randomly and what is the minimum Y required to get you to play the game? (B) Assuming you do not deviate from your optimal strategy, what does my optimal strategy become? (C) What is your response? (D) What is the equilibrium strategy and expected loss of the game?
