Re: Would you play russian roulette

[ QUOTE ] You're gonna have to go into specifics of EXACTLY what goes into this wager. Given my expected potential lifetime earnings, though... +EV, I think. [/ QUOTE ] yeah, because expected income is all that matters in life. you [censored] idiot. you too should run out and find someone offering money for russian roulette, as you're clearly a waste of air and space. as you'd be better off as mulch, you should get going. citanul [/ QUOTE ] Well, I certainly walked right into that little bear trap. If this forum had a "rolling eyes" smiley, I'd be layin' it down like this was a DMZ minefield. Anyway, in this, the post- "5-year-olds post" -era, it's safe to say that just about anything is up for grabs on OOT for analysis as an intellectual exercise. I don't see why this should be any different.

Re: Would you play russian roulette
Hell no, I wouldn't play Russian roulette. I'd rather be homeless.
Funny, I was able to squeeze a couple questions in when I attended a sort of group interview with Greg Raymer last week. I won't get into the specifics of the question because I don't feel like typing that much, but he used a Russian roulette analogy to answer my question. His question, "If someone offered you $10 million to play Russian roulette with a gun that hand 100 chambers, would you do it?" Again, hell no.

[ QUOTE ] This guy is a moderator? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] nice 18th post, now go back in your hole. [/ QUOTE ] He's 100% spot-on, though. I can only assume for the sake of both citanul and yourself that you're both drunk, and that apologies will be forthcoming in the harsh light of day. Re: the 100-chamber deal. What's the bet? Are we talking - spin this enormous revolving cylinder, snap in place, cock, aim at head, pull trigger, collect if your skull is still intact? B/c I take that bet in a heartbeat. Are we talking: spin, trade shots until one of us is dead? B/c in that case it hardly matters how many chambers there are; might as well be two...

1/6 chance to win 10 million? +Ev [/ QUOTE ] 1/6 chance at death, 5/6 chance at 10 million. (1/6) Death << -(5/6) 10,000,000 Therefore, (1/6) Death + (5/6) 10,000,000 < 0. Therefore, I wouldn't play.
