Re: A Microsoft Interview Question (aka basic Bayes\' Theorem)

there are 4 possible states its in when your friend pulls the trigger and didn't kill himself. afterwards, there are only 3 possible empty chambers that won't kill you; b/c if he was on the one just before the filled one, you're on the filled one and you're fcuked. your chances are 3/6 which is not as good as 4/6 so you should spin again and point it at your friend for convincing you to play this stupid game.

I disagree with the "3/6" number, but I agree with turning the game around on your dumbass friend. I'm pretty sure that happened on 24 a couple of seasons ago.
