Forty chambers. Any fewer and I'd be nervous.

A much better question could have been asked if the reward had been, say, $200 million divided by the number of chambers. If that were the case, I might take fewer, but no way am I going under thirty.

Oddly enough, its entirely possible that someone read the original thread, and talked about it with someone else, etc. etc., until it got to your friend, and now on OOT again in this form.

Heh. I'll take those odds too. I don't even have teh girl. If you could modify the Russian Roulette so that rolling death means simply that you didn't exist (your family won't be traumatized), I'll take 1 in 4.

I'd go as low as 1 in 5; I really hate working for a living.

I guess it would matter at who has to shot first. but about 7 sounds right

After thinking about this because of asking some people I know..I'm sticking with 40. I wouldn't be very worried at all...

For the guy who said the lightning thing..serious or not....if you get struck by lightning you dont even get money...so this would have to be way under [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

My girlfriend said 2....should I worry?

Assuming I'm guaranteed to die instantly I'd play for 10 million with a standard revolver. I don't think dying instantly would be that bad.

Odds of being killed sometime in the next year in any sort of transportation accident: 77 to 1

[/ QUOTE ]this has to be wrong. because a person's life expectancy is about 73 years or something i think. and even though the odds of getting killed in that manner changes over the life-cycle, there are many many other ways to die(cancer, heart attack, violence) and those will all have to amount to a very neglible number forthat to be true.

also, did 1/77th of your high school/college class die in transportation accidents EACH year?
