Question

A Russian Gangster kidnaps you. He puts two bullets in a consecutive order in an empty six round revolver, spin it, points it at your head and shoot it. But still you are alive.He then asks you "Do you want me to spin it again & fire or pull the trigger again right way?" what us the probability you will be short??​

Answer 1

Answer:

Probabilities for 'next shot'-kill

1/4 (no spin) or 3/12 2/6 (spin) or 4/12 or 1/3

so, for (no spin) the probability of getting shot is lower

(1/4, because first pull = empty, means he hit 1 of 4 empty ones.

As he puts the bullets in consecutive orders, 3/4 empty will be followed by another empty one. 1/4 will be followed by a bullet)

(2/6, if he spins, the probability stays the same, because he can hit again the same empty one)
