These are silly. In a game you can't lose, you should invest no resources into your decision making and play as many instances of this game simultaneously as possible to maximize return. The worst I can do is 3 points per game as Blue. The best I can do is 6 points per game as Blue. If I play two games simultaneously without devoting any decision to either of them, the worst I can do as Blue is 6 points, which is the former best. Because there are no resources devoted to deciding how to play, this can scale infinitely and with untrained players.
