Two men are playing Russian roulette using a pistol with six chambers.
A single bullet is used and the chamber is spun after every turn.

What is the probability that the first man will lose?

(In reply to re(2): A footnote to this problem by Dan)

That sounds more like comic violence, I find that easier to digest.
