Default Russian Roulette

Me and 5 buddys get together over a 6 chamber revolver and a bullet. They offer me the chance to pick where to stand. Assuming I want to live, where do I stand? Assuming I want to die, where do I stand? Does it make a differance?

What if we had 5 bullets? What if we had 1 bullet and 20 chamber gun, but still 6 guys?

It seems to me I'd want to stand last, because the chance that it will get passed to me is low. The problem is that if it does get passed to me, the bullet will have my name on it. I have a sneaky feeling it all evens out for the simple case, and my choice of where to stand is moot.
