In a robbery criminal, two robber was caught. the 2 robbers, who are robber X and robber Y was brought to two different room. Police has offered them some options:

1. if one of them admit the charges, while another one did not, the one who admitted will be released + a large amount of cash will be given to him and the one who did not admitted will be jailed for 3 years.
2. if both of them admitted, they will be jailed for a year.
3. if both of them do not admit, they will be released and free from the guilt.

here come a problem, they were locked up at two different room. X do not know what will Y do and Y do not know what will X do. 

if you were robber X, what would u choose, admit or not admit?
