The optimum choice is $x=1.5$. After paying $1.5$ yen, one of the following three scenarios will happen with equal probability:
* Scenario $1$: Lose $3$ yen and get compensation of $\min(3,2x)=3$ yen. After all, Snuke loses $x+A_1-\min(A_1,2x)=1.5+3-3=1.5$ yen.
* Scenario $2$: Lose $1$ yen and get compensation of $\min(1,2x)=1$ yen. After all, Snuke loses $x+A_2-\min(A_2,2x)=1.5+1-1=1.5$ yen.
* Scenario $3$: Lose $4$ yen and get compensation of $\min(4,2x)=3$ yen. After all, Snuke loses $x+A_3-\min(A_3,2x)=1.5+4-3=2.5$ yen.
Thus, the expected amount of money lost is $(1.5+1.5+2.5)/3=1.833333\cdots$ yen.10 866111664 178537096 844917655 218662351 383133839 231371336 353498483 865935868 472381277 579910117
