Survival 3 men are on a hill, only 1 can come down alive. They are armed with pistols and honourable. They will take it in turns to shoot at 1 of their adversaries or fire into the air. The 1 st man has a 1/6 probability of shooting and killing. The 2 nd man a ½ probability. The 3 rd man a 5/6 probability. Q1) Who would you prefer to be? Q2) Who is most likely to die first? Q3)Who is most likely to remain alive? Q4) If you were the 1 st man what would your tactics be? Q5) Would you like to change your choice for Q1?

A less risky version Model the survival game using a six-faced die numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Player A needs 6 to kill. Player B needs ≥ 4 to kill. Player C needs ≥ 2 to kill. Players have option of throwing or passing each time their turn comes around. Play in groups of 3 and tally results.
