You are in a free-for-all shootout involving three people, and by some rotten luck, you are the worst shooter of the group. You, shooter A, hit your target 33% of the time. The other two, B and C, have 50% and 100% accuracy respectively.

At least you get to shoot first, with B going after you, and C going last. Everyone takes turns shooting until all but one are dead.

Who will you fire at in the first round to maximize your odds of survival?

obviously u shoot at the one with 50% accuracy. becuz if u miss he will try to shoot at u just to retaliate and u have a 50% chance living and a 50% chance dying. and hopefully the 100% accuracy person will shoot at the 50 percent.
