Adam and Catherine are choosing between two ice cream shops, Icy and Frosty, located at either end of a 1-mile-long beach. Adam is standing in front of Icy, while Catherine is standing in front of Frosty. Both Adam and Catherine are each willing to pay, at most, $6 for one ice cream cone.

What price should Frosty charge if it is to maximize its total profits from Adam and Catherine
