Most popular is apple, so no one is going to go for that. Second popular is probably banana, so most people will pick that.

The task then becomes picking the third most popular, whatever that may be.

Well following this logic, everyone will go for the third most popular fruit, making it the top, so the task becomes the picking 4th most popular.

It's actually called Nash equilibrium, after genius schizophrenic mathematician.
