They could still shoot at Mr. White

You have to assume that everyone does what is their own best interest. -- nm - nub-b Sep 4, 13:35 6
- But eventually one of the other two will be dead and aiming at him. Isn't it in his best interest for it to be the guy who misses 1 in 3 shots? -- nm - Ender Sep 4, 13:44 5
  - There are three possible scenarios: - Roger More Sep 4, 13:52 2
    - So, since #3 is best... - nubby Sep 4, 13:54 1
      - I need to work on my finishing skills. -- nm - Roger More Sep 4, 13:55
  - Huh? He *is* the 1-in-3 person. He shouldn't shoot himself, that's crazy. -- nm - nubby Sep 4, 13:51 1
    - The guy who *misses* 1 in 3 - Brown -- nm - Roger More Sep 4, 13:53
eaxctly. and he screwed both their mothers, which started this whole thing - Reagen Sep 4, 13:31 1
- your mom. -- nm - nub-b Sep 4, 13:35
but *spoilers* - Strongbad Sep 4, 13:31
But the logical choice would be for the two best shooters to shoot at each other and ignore Mr. White -- nm - oblique Sep 4, 13:31 5
- they're in a duel. I wonder exactly how logical they are. -- nm - Reagen Sep 4, 13:31
- Okay, I was looking at something strictly mathematical, I tried to avoid the psychological part -- nm - Guigue Sep 4, 13:31 3
  - It IS mathematical though. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 4, 13:34 2
    - Only if you factor the idea that Brown and Black will automatically shoot at each other. If you decide that there's no way to know who will shoot who, - Guigue Sep 4, 13:35 1
      - BTW that's okay, I get the puzzle and the answer. I'm just saying that's not the way I looked at it -- nm - Guigue Sep 4, 13:37
