Are Two Heads Better Than One?

from eieio.games [alt+shift+b] in technology

Are Two Heads Better Than One? You're playing a game with your lying friends Alice and Bob. Bob flips a coin and shows it to Alice. Alice tells you what she saw - but she lies 20% of the time. Then you take your best guess on whether the coin is heads or tails. Your best strategy is to trust whatever Alice says. You're right 80% of the time. Now Bob joins in. He makes up his mind independent of Alice, and he _also_ lies 20% of the time. You were right 80% of the time by trusting Alice. How much better can you do with Bob's help?
