Re: Question for all you aspiring game theorists...
OK, my problem was that X alone needs to be compared to the future gain from refusing and insisting on N.
So, when X=N-1
(N-N+1)(1-K)/K >= N-1
1/K - 1 >= N - 1
1/K >= N
So, if the game has a 1% chance of ending each round, A should offer $100 and B should accept.
Note that the amount of money in the pot is irrelevant to the solution. If N turns out to be a large portion of the total, then I think we have to look at the situation from A's perspective as well.
