Wrong, You are 50/50 to die if you don't spin, but spinning has only a 1/6 chance of dieing now, since one of the roudns has been fired, and can now be considered empty.

Thank you for pointing out that triviality for those who missed it. However, when I said "The 1/3 chance to die from spinning..." I still referred to the original situation, spinning with 2 bullets in the gun.

But I agree, leaving is the best idea.

That wasn't my point at all. I pointed out that the two variants must have probabilities differing from 1/3 in opposite directions. That is not trivial.
