POW #7 is still OPEN!
A few hints:
·
There
are 6 equally likely shooting orders:
BCD, BDC, CBD, CDB, DBC, and DCB.
·
If
Brian is out and Dennis shoots first at Caldwell, exchanging shots until one is
hit, you should show that Dennis wins 5/9 of the time and Caldwell survives the
other 4/9.
·
Dennis
may not be the best shot, but he's very clever and not afraid to think
"outside the box".
The first participant to identify the correct
strategies and determine the probabilities of each player surviving wins the
prize.
