  1. he should have her spin the chamber 1 in 3 chance of death vs. 1 in 2 chance if he doesn't. the odds in favour of spinning the chamber again; 2 bullets to 6 chambers a 1 in 3 chance of death . knowing where the one blank chamber is only leaves 5 possibilities for the next chamber. so the odds of there being a bullet in the next chamber is now 2 bullets to 5 chambers. 2 to 6 is better than 2 to 5. or so it would appear. because there are only 6 possible configurations that the bullets can be alligned in once you know where that one blank chamber is( because no 2 bullets are in consecutive chambers); 3 with a bullet in the next chamber and 3 with it being blank he actually has a 50/50 chance if he has her shoot without spinning the chamber again.
  2. 50 m when bmad at 100 m (the end), bononova is at 70 m because he has been beat by 30m. which at that time puts phase at 50m because he is 20m behind bononova.
  3. i thought it was 19 rows. 18 of three and one of more right? total using 12 trees? still don`t have the layout but b4 i spend the time trying i want to make sure i have the right information
  4. 12 ft? not entirely sure this is right. but i'm thinking that the intersection on the smaller ladder would be 2/3 of the ladders length. and the shorter ladderwould meet the top of the wall at the halfway point of the length of the point that the tall ladders top meets the walls. 18ft from the top of the tall to the top of the short and 18 from the top of the short to the ground minus the 6ft down to the intersection =12 ft. from the ground? and i think that my logic only makes sense in my own head.
  5. the table is an equalateral triangle. draw it out with 6 inches on each side. each person sits 2 inches apart. start at the top point with huey then going clockwise every 2 inches.it would be george, the writer, eric(at the right point), donald, chris, becky(at the left point), amber and isaac to the left of the top point(huey). now draw a line from the writer to amber the distance is 4 inches. draw a line from amber to chris distance 2 inches, and finally a line from amber to becky is another 2 inches. 2+2=4. yay!
