So if a group using your decision-making-process all took this survey, "rationally" trying to win the contest, they would end up winning $0. :)

Correct, just like people trying to 'win' a single iteration prisoner's dilemna problem would defect.

I'm not claiming its the morally correct option or anything, just that its the correct strategy if your goal is to win.

I don't think we're using the same definition of 'win'. This is the same thinking that leads to two-boxing.
