The yankees and the mets are playing a best-four-of-seven


The Yankees and the Mets are playing a best-four-of-seven series. The winner takes all of the prize money of one million dollars. Unexpectedly, the competition must be suspended when the Yankees lead two games to one. How should the prize money be divided between the two teams if the remaining games cannot be played? Assume that the Yankees and the Mets are evenly matched and that the outcomes of the games are independent of each other. (This problem is a variant of the famous "problem of points" that, in 1654, initiated the correspondence between the great French mathematicians Pascal and Fermat).
