Calquon's computer has a very sensitive touchscreen interface. Even a fly can navigate reddit with it. But I didn't see him upvote anything. Come on, bug, contribute!
I worked at a radio station where all the live mixing was done on computers with touch screens. When the system was new, one announcer sneezed all over the screen and everything went haywire. He immediately tried to clean it off, which only made things worse.
He stills hears about that from listeners years later.
Wow. Nick directly got to the core of the matter, namely that it's a thing of trust, and he encoded it accordingly for his opponent by instantly picking (well, announcing to pick) the worst outcome and just directly asking Ibrahim to trust him. What a brilliant solution to the dilemma! Well, not a solution, but rather a nifty little "deciding aid" for his opponent. Nice to see a con turn out in a way that benefits both the conman and his "victim".
I wonder if Nick was familiar with game theory or if it just was the first solution that intuitively occurred to him. If it's the latter, that would really be remarkable, wouldn't it?

Why not just call it what it is? The chicken game (or hawk-dove game)?
That would require extra research -- and more than I have time for.

And then sometimes people don't share. Can you guess which one is going to steal $160,000?
