A remark on the customs and smuggler game

Baston and Bostock formulated a zero-sum game of exhaustion modeling the problem of Customs trying to stop a Smuggler attempting to ship a cargo of perishable contraband across a strait, when Customs has n speedboats for patrolling. Thomas and Nisgav solved this problem for one speedboat. Baston and Bostock investigated it for two speedboats. This article addresses the solution of the three-boat variant of the Customs and Smuggler game.
