Re: A Microsoft Interview Question (aka basic Bayes\' Theorem)
i'll give it a shot...after your friend blanks on his first shot, you've got at best 3 more blanks and at worst 0. there's really only 1 chamber that you have to be worried about, the one adjacent to the 2 remaining bullets...4 chambers - so 1/4 times, you'll be dead, and 3/4 times you'll survive. i'd rather take a 25% shot after my friend than another spin looking at 33% (2/6).
peace - jeff
