Well, if it's the case that there's a 1/6000 chance that the first guy gets hit, it's 5999/6000 chance that the third guy gets it. (Not true, but it's gesturally correct).
So I imagine the odds are much less skewed or NOBODY forgets the spin between rounds. Also, if you don't spin between rounds and you're the 6th person to try it... this isn't really a game of risk anymore.
- skue 14y agoWhy is the parent down voted? He was responding to the hypothetical case that the odds are initially 1/600 due to bullet weight and no one else spins. Granted, he wrote 1/6000 instead of 1/600, but his basic point is correct: if no one else spins, the odds for each of the other 5 players would not remain ~1/6.
- tel 14y agoThanks for the nudge! I did misread the hypothetical distribution the parent claimed. I definitely wrote that response in a hurry as a thought experiment to flesh out what the least bizarre rules for R.R. might be, but I was surprised by the vehement negative response.
- kyrias 14y agoHeh, you really have no idea of what you're talking about, do you? (Or are just plain stupid)
- gyepi 14y agoOne, the other, or both might by true. However, in polite company there is rarely a need to ask the former and definitely not the latter. Putting other people down, even or especially when they are wrong says more about you than them. Please don't.
