Harder Russian Roulette (Posted on 2004-09-11) Difficulty: 2 of 5
A six-shooter is loaded with three cartridges in consecutive chambers, before two persons start to play "Russian Roulette" until one is dead.

If the cylinder isn't spun after each attempt, would you rather be the first shooter, or the second?

What would be your answer if there are only TWO cartridges, of course in consecutive chambers?

(In reply to Bullet points by Penny)

my answer for the three consecutive cartridges would be to go first, i cant really explain in detail but the first one who goes has the least risk.

but if there is only two cartridges loaded consecutively i would go second.

thats it. peace to you all.
