COMMENTS

Ratio approaches:-3.30278 First two matrices are permutations, so only the third matrix adds to the score overall. Designed for game values {-1/3,-1/3,2/3} being "Quark" like. Only thing good about it,is that this game gives a reference for the {-1/4,-1/4,1/2} game with the same starting vector. Other games of this sort give scores of 2^n+2 and 2^n+3 for MA3={{1,1,0},{0,1,0},{0,0,2}}.
