The answer is to not shoot at anybody. If u kill the 100% cyborg, u have a 50% chance to die. However if u shoot nobody, there's a 50% chance the 100% will die and your fighting the 50% only now u go first. And if the 50% doesn't kill the 100% cyborg, it will get killed and then u still have the original shot that u would make and still have a chance to kill the 100%.

That is wrong for so many reasons:

1. I was under the assumption you had to shoot at somebody
2. You didn't consider the 50% shooting you instead of the 100%
3. You didn't consider the 100% shooting you instead of the 50%
4. Even if the scenario above happens, you only have 33% chance to kill the 100% cyborg, which means you will most likely die


Dodger

Yeah, that riddle was very badly explained.

They would shoot the bigger threat, it's obvious.  ::)

It is what u should do to have the MOST chance of survival.

Well surely it would be obvious for you to shoot the 100% originally by that logic, which further backs up my correct answer.

Additionally, you didnt consider what happens if the 50% guy chooses to shoot nobody.

flamingdragon

The 50% guy wouldn't choose to shoot at nothing beecause then he will die as the 100% never misses, and the 100% wouldn't shoot at nobody because then it would create a never ending chain and if he shoots 50%, theres a a 66% chance he will win.

If u shoot the 100% and hit it, theres a 33% chance ur fighting 50% when he goes first. If u shoot at nobody, there's a 50% chance ur fighting the 50% with u going first.

For once I agree with ults. Your riddle SUCKS!

I am the engine to your factory
My chambers never stop filling
My attacks will have you arrested

What am I?

Post a riddle f00l.

Dodger

Sailing one fine day you come across an island. After some exploration you find that the island is inhabited only by knights and knaves.
As everyone knows (::)) knights always tell the truth, and knaves always lie.

You encounter three inhabitants standing together.
They are called A, B, and C. They say together that you can ask each of them one question only.

You ask A:
"Are you a knight or a knave?"
He replies, but so quietly you can't hear him.

You then ask B:
"What did A say?"
B replies, "A said that he is a knave."

You then ask C,
"Is B telling the truth?"
"No, B is lying." Says C.

From these three answers can you work out if A is a knight or a knave? If so, which is he?
And what about B and C?
