The Truel
Three guys are fighting over TimeLady and they agree to decide with a "truel" (thats a duel of three
). All three get a gun and last man standing wins.
Man 1 shoots pretty bad. 1 in 3 kill
Man 2 shoots better. 2 in 3 kill
Man 3 shoots perfect - 3 in 3 kill = 100%
They agree to shoot one at a time. First the worst shooter (Man1) followed by Man2 (if alive), followed by Man3 (if alive), after which the cycle repeats.
We assume that a hit = death and a miss = complete miss.
You are Man 1. What do you do.
For the mathematicians: What are the probabilities of Man1, 2 and 3 to win this truel?
