We know that: It then follows that So the question boils down to finding The solutions are therefore:

Alice chooses columns, Bob chooses rows in this matrix: $$\pmatrix{ * & r & p & s & a \\ r&0&1&-1&0\\ p&-1&0&1&1\\ s&1&-1&0&-1\\ a&0&-1&1&0 }$$ $+1$ means Alice wins, $0$ is tie, $-1$ Bob wins. There is no Nash equilibrium. According to this solver/website https://cgi.csc.liv....

The answers for $M$ are somewhat surprising! I expected smaller numbers. $k=0$ Minimum Maximum $k=1$ Minimum Maximum $k=2$ Minimum Maximum

Perhaps the answer is Because And the fact that We can deduce the answer: Which matches Hint 6 in that (Those not after "-" is the original text):

The answer maybe: The reason is:

Assuming that every digit left of the '=' operatore is a symbolic representation of a value, then we would have: '4' -> 4 '2' -> 2 '6' -> 6 '8' -> 24 '5' -> 85 '7' -> 221 then '8'+'6' (symbolically) would become 24+6 (numerically), therefore '8'+'6' = 30 If this is the key, then there would be several alternative solutions, because we could assign ...

So we can break up the solution as which decodes as Although I suspect there may be another level of decoding and the final answer should be
