Re: Russian Roulette
if you go first you have a 5 to 1 chance of surviving = 16.7%
if you go second, of the 5 times in 6 that it gets that far
you have a 4 to 1 chance of surving = 83.3% x 20% = 16.7%
etc etc
so it doesn't matter where you stand (same sort of calcs go for the 1 in 20 scenario - don't stand first or second in the 5 out of 6 scenario - stand third to appear to be brave)
except if you are last in the first case and it gets that far you know you have the live bullet in the chamber and you can shoot the twat who thought of the game
