Great job! That is correct answer! Seems that we need to come with something more trickier next time! =)
Thanks! I love these type of mathematical and logics puzzles. They really challenge you and in this case also provide you a bit of insight in the odds for winning (or surviving
) this gambling game. I hope you can come up with another challenging puzzle to put me up to a bit of extra thinking!
Ok, here is another challenge for you. Imagine that you and your opponent start with 1 bullet loaded into the 6 slot. Both you and him will have to shoot without spinning and after shot pass the pistol to another.
The question is do you prefer to start as first, or shoot in second turn?
Cool puzzle, these are always fun to try and solve!
I'd say that I would prefer to start first, as if I start, I'd have a 1 in 6 chance of taking the shot, while if I go second, I'd have a 1 in 5 chance of biting a bullet. 1 in 6 are better odds, so I'd like to start first.
