Here’s the setup: I have a single fair die and will pay you whatever you roll (e.g. you roll a 1: you receive $1, you roll a 2: you receive $2).
Question 1: What is the most you should ever pay to play this game?
Question 2: If I give you the option to roll again, how much is this option worth?

He's not asking the eV; he is asking how much is the most you would pay to play
Minor technicality, the answer to the second part should be $0.75.
tonyperkis +1 dabanobo +1
Why is the second answer $.75?
