Re: A Microsoft Interview Question (aka basic Bayes\' Theorem)
Haven't read any of the other replies.
If he has fired it and there was no bullet. That means he landed in any of 4 places. 1/4 of those places will result in the next shot fired meaning bye bye for you.
If you spin it again, there are 2 slots that will kill ya out of 6 possible.
So the answer is... Shoot it again if you wanna maximize your chances of staying alive by 8%.
