Interview Questions...

Yep. As the rounds continue the risk only ever increases. The lowest probability you'll face is 0.5 in the first round. So go first

Wrong.

How many losing positions are there from the start?

Ahh I missed the word 'consecutive'.

As did I. Stick your job up your 'arris :winking:

You've got me curious with this one, love a good mathematics question.

Surely you would pick second. First person has 50% chance of getting a bullet. If they miss then the outcome of the second person getting a bullet is 33%, so then the real probability of the second person getting a bullet is 16.5%.

4/6 starting positions are losing positions. Therefore if you go second you stand a 2/6 chance of losing.

Unfortunately you didn't make the interview round.

My favourite is: "Would you rather fight a horse-sized duck or 100 duck sized horses?”

Any example from the Zoners?

Difficult one for me to answer. I don't like mixing my personal life with business.

You and an opponent play Russian Roulette. The revolver has six chambers and is loaded with bullets in three consecutive chambers. You decide who starts the game. Do you chose to start or let your opponent start?

Think i would have to go first and then not play fair and shoot my opponent instead.

Depends what the job is for. If for police officer, then hand it in at a police station. If for a bank job, then keep it for myself :smiles:
