I've seen a lot of plausibility-talk, but very little numerical or analytical proof. Did either of you run a simulation according to the strategy presented very early by genmaximus, that each player should shoot at the strongest player available (including that E should shoot at D, etc.)? Did it really come out inferior to a combined strategy in which certain players shoot at certain other ones?
-
Safety is not the issue. The first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, (and eleventh, for the 11-shot) chambers belong to one player, the second, fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth chambers belong to the other. I like Genmax's argument that the first player with the 11-shot has more chambers that have a chance of having a bullet than the second player, so there's a slightly better chance of winning by going first with 11-shot.
-
I buy that argument, genmax.

I don't think either question matters, and it doesn't matter which choice you make. 10-shot revolver (OP says it's like in a western. That means it's a revolver). When you get to shoot, either you have the even cylinders or you have the odd cylinders. it's 50-50 whether your cylinders have the bullet or not. Doesn't matter whether you shoot first. 11-shot revolver. Once again, the cylinder will either appear when your opponent shoots, or when you shoot. It's 50-50. The only thing that does matter is the random choice of initial cylinder. You don't get a choice that affects that. edit: end the game sooner, pick the 10-shot gun.

GM, could you also quote the score of calendar, as correctly spelled by liamlime? :-) We did miss you today, as palmerc7 chased a buzzard.
