Answer:

Zaroff is defeated because of his own overconfidence and arrogance.

Explanation:

In "The Most Dangerous Game" by 'Richard Connell', General Zaroff's is tricked by Rainsford and Zaroff gets defeated because of his own arrogance.

General Zaroff lived on Ship-Trap island. He was tired of hunting animals, so he started hunting humans to satisfy his thrill. Rainsford was his new victim. Zaroff boosts to Rainsford that killing is his "mathematical certainty" and since animals cannot compete with him, he switched to hunting humans. In overconfidence, he allowed Rainsford to stay after the first day of the competition.

Rainsford tricked Zaroff by making him think that he died but he returned to Zaroff's castle, where Rainsford kills him.

Answer:

People tend to make systematic and predictable mistakes in their thinking. These mistakes are called biases.

Explanation:

Humans are not perfect decision makers. Everyday humans make numerous decisions and try their best to be rational. But many times, our cognitive limitations prevent us from doing so. In systematic and predictable ways, we do drift away from perfection. Even if we take each step properly to make a decision by first defining the problem, then thinking of alternatives for the solution and then take a decision, one is bound to get affected by cognitive thinking. Such mistakes that humans make are called biases. They affect the judgement of even a very talented human being.
