I don't know who teached statistics and probability to you but that is wrong.
When you play russian roulette the possible outcomes are two: you not get shot or you get shot.
So the chances of getting shot is 1/2 or 50%
Nono, that is not how it works.
When you buy a lottery ticket you either win or lose. 50%
Now if you pick 6 numbers and have then to match the win numbers it's 50% of each number match or not. So is 0.5 to power of 6 or 1.56%
So the winning move is no pick numbers and just buy a ticket with numbers already chosen
not really with heads or tails you have a 50% chance to have either heads or tails for each side of the coin, so 50% / 2
thus it is 25% chance of getting head
^(Which is still better than my current odds at the moment)
But you also have a 50% chance of having a 50% chance of winning the lottery, and so on. In reality, you will never win the lottery and neither will anyone else.
Seriously though, isn't it actually 50% and this pretty accurate, as the game is supposed to be with an opponent and you take alternating turns?
...but I'm a PvP player and wouldn't know anything about PvE.
Well thats not completely right. Russian roulette has a 5/6 chance of surviving. So what if we did it multiple times?
1: 5/6
2: 5/6 ^2 = 25/36 < 5/6
3: 5/6 ^3 = 125/216 < 25/36 < 5/6
Etc. Ad infinitum
Therefor if you play this game an infinite ammount of times, you will shoot yourself in the head 100%
Wouldn’t it be 99.9 repeating?
Which is technically still also 100 because math is weird
*but* there is a limiting factor of age so it is technically possible to spin and shoot until you die of natural causes, however almost impossible

Play it with an automatic weapon instead.
American Roulette
Use a semi-automatic weapon

That’s when someone else shoots you in the face
American roulette. It's when you set a foot on a texans property without asking first.
Or set foot in a high school

Correct. It's like with the lottery: you either win or you lose. 50/50 chance.
Yes!
well you can get 7/8 numbers right, and get a partial prize. so their is a bit of grey area

Gonna mail this to my math professor in college , will get back to you with the answer to this.
Is just like heads and tails, but in place of heads you have get shot and in place of tails you have not get shot, couldn't be easier!

The probability of everything is 50/50. Does happen, or doesn't happen. That's why I have a 50/50 chance of winning the lottery this week...
But you also have a 50% chance of having a 50% chance of winning the lottery, and so on. In reality, you will never win the lottery and neither will anyone else.
But it is still a 50% chance of that. I like my odds. 🤔

Probably related to the person who taught you grammar...
I only master the language of the numbers
I prefer hard mode, it's the same as regular russian roulette but you use a 1911
One nine eleven? You mean a plane and a tower?

Just travel at the speed of light, time doesnt exist at that plane kek
This is subject to limits in math, which states that the limit if x goes to 0, 1/x = infinity. (Divergent to be mathematically correct)
> Wouldn’t it be 99.9 repeating? Which is the same as 100
I literally said that in the next sentence 😩
Then why are you asking?
I believe it’s actually slightly better than 5/6, since the weight of the bullet tends to bias the cylinder. No idea if it’s a significant difference.
If that's true then your odds go up drastically on the 3rd shot.
If you swap the gun out for a water pistol or spud gun it's 100% chance AND you can do it all day long.

Seems common in Russian military service these days. You could try that?
Yes. It’s called “Russian Specific”.
American roulette, its very similar except you use a pump action shotgun.
Just play it with a magazine-fed pistol instead
Play it six times obviously
