If you think you are a shrewder trader than the others, than it is always
advantageous to join.

Wait a minute, no it's not; the last two are screwed no matter how good they
are. I'll rewrite that part, as soon as I figure out the best way to do so.
The rewrite will necessarily mean a rewrite of the final scoring mechanism;
that's going to be the harder part. Any ideas?
