Symbolically, if E(x,y) denotes the amount gained by a contestant prepared to wait time x when the opponent is prepared to wait y, we have  \\[  E(x,y)=V-x\\quad if\\quad x>y,\\quad and\\quad E(x,y)=-x\\quad if\\quad x<y.  \\]  Such a game has precisely one evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS), viz. to wait for a time x drawn at random from the exponential distribution with mean V, i.e. density \\(V^{-1}\\exp (-x/V)(x>0).\\)    The authors analyze several different models for the generalization of this WA to n-person conflicts. In Model A, n players compete for one reward, value V, and each player independently selects a time he is prepared to wait, in the hope of outlasting the (n-1) opponents. Once chosen, this time is fixed; as some players drop out, those remaining are not allowed to alter their initial ``bids''. If \\(X_ i\\) is the waiting time chosen by player i, the reward to player 1 (say) is  \\[  E(X_ 1;X_ 2,...,X_ n)=V-W_ 1\\quad if\\quad X_ 1>W_ 1  \\]  and  \\[  E(X_ 1;X_ 2,...,X_ n)=-X_ 1\\quad if\\quad X_ 1<W_ 1  \\]  where \\(W_ 1=Max(X_ 2,...,X_ n)\\). Theorem 1 says that this model has a unique ESS, when each player chooses a value \\(X_ i\\), independently, from the distribution functions \\(G(x)=(1-\\exp (-x/V))^{1/(n-1)}(x\\geq 0).\\)    Other models, in which the players may alter their bids or in which several prizes are available, are also discussed and the ESS investigated (there may be none).","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1119210$6F5A852B-1B2B-48D7-86A5-7C6BA32EE9CF","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"bff28c5b034bf5ef8dc5cd9baf163b582f69ea87","datavalue":{"value":"92D50","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1119210$BAFE0195-D12A-4E36-BA54-9173AF21397A","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"628b6504534c9c491a1aed9f9fa031e89a793c1f","datavalue":{"value":"92D15","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1119210$AA19C76F-0AAF-4C01-B6B5-86CDB50D8E0A","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"faee5ab05cb9874c5699fd8ea19d55449cc75327","datavalue":{"value":"4097185","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1119210$C88E3AB1-BB4B-4CCA-A334-E130F17AF313","rank":"normal"}],"P1450":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"85174c87a2045067811f7e7ebe23915507d8a0fb","datavalue":{"value":"war
