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?

The last case: if you are a dove and H is even, you'll survive only if hawks kill themselves before finding you -- so it's the same as if you were a hawk.
