Whenever a hawk meets a dove, the dove is killed. Whenever two hawks meet, they fight to death, and both are killed. And if two doves meet, nothing bad happens.
There are H hawks and D doves, and you are either a hawk or a dove. Assuming that meetings are random, what are your chances of survival?

Interestingly, exactly this question was asked in the queue.
The answer is that meetings occur independently, instantaneously, and
never simultaneously. (So, only one pair of birds meets at any
given moment.)
