The great analysis
Suppose a real cum filmy fight is going on and our hero (as usual fighting scores of opponents) finally manages to get the gun but unfortunately only one bullet is left, worse still everybody knows it.
The hero is protecting some asset so he draws a line and says,” I will shoot the first person who crosses this line.”
Hmmm !! Very filmy, but here comes the twist—
The villains are all computer educated guys (probably from IIITB). One of them asks- “What if two of us cross the line?”
Then hero says,” I will shoot any of them.”
“But you should stick to an algorithm, suppose out of n of us k cross the line simultaneously then what would you do?”
“I will keep my eyes closed and shoot”
“But that would include a probability that none of us gets shot, in that case you loose completely and we win completely”
“Then I will shoot the middle one”
“How much time would be needed to determine the center point and there are still complexities like if even no. of us cross etc. Also there may be a case in which a few of us put something in your eyes before crossing the line, then what would you do?”, “we need the full case scenario before we begin so that we can also get a fair chance”
“O my God! Just don’t cross the line.”
“Now you are saying different thing all together, the second statement doesn’t logically follow the first one. I can not inference this. In any case we were working on a different problem altogether, to efficiently use the last bullet you have”
The hero understands by this time, he uses his last bullet in the most efficient manner—
He kills himself…..
