Surviving The Deadliest Game
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ธ.ค. 2019
- There’s no more dangerous game than Russian Roulette. One wrong move and the consequences are fatal… and Balloon Kevin knows it.
The real difficulty is that in the sort of game you see played in a movie, there’s no skill involved when a player makes that move. It’s right or it’s wrong, and it’s a combination of the highest possible stakes with the lowest possible element of human control.
According to Nick Berry of DataGenetics, a common job interview question tests the mathematical reasoning and probability skills of interviewees by asking them to consider an alternative, slightly more complex arrangement: with two potentially fatal chambers loaded, and after having successfully survived the first round of a game, does the player request to spin the cylinder, or do they just let it go? Does it even matter?
The answer is surprising, and the exercise is a lesson in how gaining a small edge -- or not losing one -- can make a tremendous difference. If you were faced with consequences this dire, wouldn’t you want every percentage point of survivability your math mind could muster?

5/5 guys say Russian Roulette is a safe game. Some might say that there's a sixth guy that would say otherwise, but he stubbornly refused to answer my question.
Did he give you the cold shoulder?
I know right, he even slept on the ground with his butt facing me; what a rude guy >:(
he gave you the silent treatment
EXACTLY, now I have to mop the floors again :(
He never responded to me, however do you a spare bullet?
calculations:
just don’t play it
yes, it always makes you the winner.
Well technically the odds are in your favor
I mean you can mkay it if the gun and bullets are fake and stuff but yea it’s not safe if you don’t play it how I just explained it
Worth it for the 2 dollars

Got it. I will not set up a game of NERF Russian Roulette using a balloon stand-in of myself (nor a balloon stand-in of Kevin) in which a needle is inserted into the NERF dart

Because needles are dangerous

There a Lucky Luke comic in which Luke goes to a town where everyone is obsessed with gambling. For reasons, he ends up wrongfully imprisoned in the town jail. The jailor is an old man who asks Luke if he wants to play Russian roulette, which is his preferred game of chance since he believes it's impossible to cheat at it. Luke agrees and the jailor goes first, survives and hands Luke the gun. Luke then immediately makes sure the bullet is aligned with the barrel, points the gun at the jailor and demands to be let free.
The jailor goes: "Well, I'll be damned. You _can_ cheat at Russian roulette!"
I like how he constantly emphasizes the word "toy" when referring to the Nerf gun to not get demonetized

0. The answer is 0.
Wow ok spoiler
Two darts being adjacent was a clever way of thinking about it, drawing out the random combinations instead of just seeing there’s 3/5 empty slots was reverse clever
this vid oversimplyfied:
if have 1 bullet u can take chance at going the 2nd round with no spin wich will give higher odds
if with 2 bullets u are better off rolling in the 2nd round
If you have 1 bullet you are better off spinning, the only way it’s better not to spin is if they are adjacent
"i need a fake kevin because this game is deadly"
*takes out nerf gun*
If the needle dart would hit a vital place... Even a nerf gun can kill... If it had enough punch the needle could pierce your skull and lead to brain damage, the propabilidty for that is low but not non existent.

Ah yes
Imagine balloon-Kevin survives, but with horrific injuries.
You can calculate the random position 2 bullets choice much easier, because you know that after the first shot anything can come except the empty position that you fired already. This means that there are 2 bullets and 3 other empty ones, which is 3/5=60%.

It stands to reason. The previous trigger-pull "used up" one of the possibilities without a chambered round, so there are now only three remaining, vs two with rounds. Re-spinnning brings that one back into play again.
Now this a game that can only be played in Vr without dying

Here’s how you actually win:
Play in a group of six with yourself included. Sit next to the person who goes first and go the opposite way so you’re last. If someone loses before it gets to you then good job, but if no one gets shot, pull out the gun you brought with you and shoot everyone else

Nice vid, but concerning the random repartition case, isn’t it way simpler to consider that 5 rooms remain of which 2 are loaded, which leads to the exact same result of 3/5 survival odds ?

It is just not efficient to do so.
We now that there will be 2 bullets and 3 empty spaces after the dry shot.
So the odds to survive are 60%.
