Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression
N = 15 + X*(Y - Z), where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9). Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu substitutes the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be?
