Mr. Black, Mr. Gray, and Mr. White are fighting in a truel. They each get a gun and take turns shooting at each other until only one person is left. Mr. Black, who hits his shot 1/3 of the time, gets to shoot first. Mr. Gray, who hits his shot 2/3 of the time, gets to shoot next, assuming he is still alive. Mr. White, who hits his shot all the time, shoots next, assuming he is also alive. The cycle repeats. If you are Mr. Black, where should you shoot first for the highest chance of survival?

...neither of them?

He'd shoot himself because there's only a 1/3 chance he'll die?

Nope.

Deliberately miss so that Gray goes for White because White has the biggest chance of getting a shot and then its Black's turn and he has a 1/3 chance of surviving

Pretty much yes, he'd shoot at the ground/in the air.

That fried up my brain :laugh:
I only caught on when the end of your question said ''where should he shoot'' instead of who
Although LJ pretty much got it first lol

someone can take my go

You approach two talking doors.
One door leads to the City of Truth, while the other door leads to the City of Liars.
You do not know which door is which. You are able to ask only one question to determine which door is which.
The door that leads to the City of Liars always speaks lies, while the door that leads to the City of Truth always speaks the truth.
You want to go to the City of Truth.
What question do you ask to determine which door leads to the City of Truth?

What begins with an E, ends with an E, and contains only one letter? :smug:

think of that as a bonus riddle and do Liams first :laugh: im useless at riddles :smug:
