Surely A shoots B, as if A shoots C then its B to have a turn next and he shoots A.

Or did I misunderstand it?

but if he kills B then he's left with just C who will shoot him 100% of the time. not great odds for A

If A shoots B, who does B then shoot when it is his turn if A has been successful?

No one, he's dead.

correct, so the shooting sequence order has stopped at A, coz C doesnt fire if B doesnt fire?

pretty sure c will still get his turn and you've not allowed for the 2 times in 3 when a misses b

we don't have enough info in op really but if we're assuming that b and c will always fire at one of the others and that their choice of target is random rather than revenge or game theory based then a is def better off shooting into the air. back of a fag packet calculations give me a 50% death rate for that, a 66% death rate if he shoots at b and some other number if he shoots at c, I got bored at this point

It is always best for A to intentionally miss. By doing so B is forced to shoot C. For B to shoot and kill A at this point would be stupid as C will then shoot him with 100% accuracy. If B successfully shoots C then it ends with A and B alive. If B misses then C will shoot either A or B at random - but this is still better than A shooting and killing and being aimed at with certainty.

If we assume they all have infinite bullets, and continue shooting in the order A, B, C, it still works. If B and C are alive then A should intentionally miss. By doing so he ensures he will always have the first shot when it becomes a duel.

George is sat playing the scoop. He just posted on facebook die stars and his fairy god mother hears him. He is allowed to shoot the guy who donked him out or the CEO of Pokerstars. Who does he shoot?
