| Creator | Vivian, Robert | |
| Description | Blavatskyy (2006) formulated a game of chance based on the harmonic series which, he suggests, leads to a St Petersburg type of paradox. In view of the importance of the St Petersburg game in decision theory, any game which leads to a St Petersburg game type paradox is of interest. Blavatskyys game is re-examined in this article to conclude that it does not lead to a St Petersburg type paradox. | |
