Russian Roulette (sort of)
Suppose you are forced to sit at a table with five other people and play Russian Roulette. The chairs are numbered 1-6. Someone loads a six-chambered revolver with one bullet, and it is passed from chair 1 to 6, each person pulling the trigger at their head until the gun fires. However unlike normal Russian Roulette, the bullet chamber isn't re-spun in between shots.
You are offered a choice of seats. Which seat do you sit in and why?

Following the rules it doesn't matter. 6 if I can escape if 1-5 don't die, 1 if I'll have to follow the rules and want the least-stressful game. [/ QUOTE ] 6 is way less stressfull, 5/6 times you dont even have to pull the trigger.

Re: Russian Roulette (sort of)
Interesting slant on our different stress perceptions.
I think that much of the time seat 1 or 2 live, and you have important stressed minutes waiting for your turn as the odds decrease against you. Some of the time you have to sit there watching seat 5 hoping its him. Then sometimes you have to pull a trigger knowing its you. I figure by going first you are only aware of the game (for more than a few stressful seconds) on the occasions that it is a good result.

Re: Russian Roulette (sort of)
sick question, ive been thinking about it, and im thinking that I would want seat 5 because 4/6 times I wouldnt have to pull the trigger, and when I did pull it at least I would have some chance of survival. I think it would be very hard for me to pull the trigger knowing I have no chance.

6 because you can refuse to pull the trigger. What can they do if you don’t pull the trigger, kill you? [/ QUOTE ] Clearly you kill one of them if you're in seat 6.

[/ QUOTE ] This would be a killer(!) practical joke for testing your co-workers integrity at corporation christmas party. You need 5 people that are in this 'gag' and a victim, drunk as hell of course, who is promised 10 million dollars for entering the game. Everyone else except the victim knows that the gun is fixed and doesn't really have a bullet in it. Volunteers are willing to sit on seats 1-5 and the victim (literally yeah [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]) is seated sixth. Gun doesn't fire on the fifth player and player number 6, the victim, is given the gun for ka-Powwing his brains with a success rate of 100%. But will he fire the gun gracefully for suicide or flee away or even try to kill one of his co-workers! That's when the party get's juiced up! Oh wait, for a second thought that doesn't sound such a good idea.
