A Microsoft Interview Question (aka basic Bayes' Theorem)

[Duke]

Seems trivial. You know your buddy didn't get shot, so there is only one way it could have spun such that you will get killed with the next pull (knowing that the bullets are right next to each other).

There's a 1/6 chance of that having happened.

If you spin, there's a 1/3 chance that you'll be in position to blow your brains out.

The only way this could be countered that I can see is if there were an inherent flaw with the gun, and spinning it would always make it stop in non-lethal positions relative to the current placement of rounds.

Assuming a fair firearm, though, do not spin.

EDIT: I'm a tard and it should be 1/4 because the 2 slots gotta be thrown out.
