Default Re: A Microsoft Interview Question (aka basic Bayes\' Theorem)
If you spin again you have a 4/6 chance of surviving. The chance that your friend had chamber next to live one is 1 / 4. That leaves 3 /4 chance it wasn’t next to live one. 3 / 4 = 9 /12. 4 /6 = 8/ 12. Chances are better not to spin?
