The "game" has four possible outcomes: (a) they both betray each other, and are both sentenced to two years in prison; (b) A betrays B, which sets A free and B is sentenced to four years in prison; (c) B betrays A, with the same result as (b) except that it is B who is set free and the other spends four years in jail; (d) both remain silent, resulting in a six-month sentence each.
Hai catro posibles resultados: (a) ambos traizónanse un ao outro, e ambos son condenados no xuízo a dous anos de cárcere; (b) A traizoa a B, polo que A queda libre e B é sentenciado con catro anos de cárcere; (c) B traizoa a A, co resultado inverso ao anterior, e (d) ambos os dous permanecen en silencio, e como resultado ambos sofren unha condena de seis meses de cárcere.
