One Saturday evening, a young couple went to the movies, leaving their two children, a three-year-old and a six-month-old, in the care of their grandmother. The grandmother, who took her responsibilities very seriously, wondered if the baby had been fed for the last time that day. She had no prior knowledge about this matter. She could have asked the older child, but there was a one in four chance he would be wrong.

Assume that for a six-month-old, it is twice as bad to miss the last feeding as it is to receive it twice. Which of the two "strategies" would you choose if you were in the grandmother's place:

1) Feed the baby without asking the older child anything
2) Ask the older child and feed the baby only if the older child says the baby hasn't been fed?
