Every decision theory I throw at it says either don't pay or Error: Divide By Zero. Is this a trick question?
I don't know what "error: divide by zero" means in this context. Could you please clarify? (If you're suggesting that the problem is ill-posed under some decision theories because the question assumes that it is possible to make a choice but the oracle's ability to predict you means you cannot really choose, how doesn't that apply to the original problem?)
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
