Two men vie to name the bigger number. The first, after ruminating for hours, triumphantly announces 'Eighty-three!' The second, mightily impressed, replies 'You win.'
A biggest number contest is clearly pointless when the contestants take turns. But what if the contestants write down their numbers simultaneously, neither aware of the other's?

Awesome. Now I crave Douglas Hofstadter books.
