Default Re: Shoot-out at the OK Corral My Solution

"Assume they take up positions an equal distance apart, none of them shoots any faster or slower than any of the others, and they all act rationally once the shooting starts"

Each person wants to maximim their survival and is greedy so they want the most people dead. This means the correct game theory solution for all 4 is to shoot at once. Abe and Bill will both shoot at each other at the same time as they both want to take out the player that can eliminate them. Since Corby and Dan understand this, their best action is to shoot at each other which makes
Corby the least likely to die at 20%
