The sharp shooter
In a three person sequential gun battle the bad shooter (B) can hit about one third of targets correctly. The second person (M) is somewhat better with a 50% hit rate. The third shooter(D) is really dangerous, who can hit 100% correctly.
First to shoot will be with lower hit rate i.e. the shooting order will be B, M and D. The battle will continue till there is only one survivor.
The bad shooter (B) hires you as his advisor. What should he do to maximize his chance of survival?
