Riddles

Hey, you know what I love? Being droned for a week and a half for absolutely no friggin' reason. No. That's just great.

Anyway, I'm bored, so lets play a game. Got a riddle for you. Well, I guess it's more like a logic puzzle then a riddle, but they're close enough to be the same thing. Whatever. So here it is:

Three duelists are standing off against one another. Technically, everything about each duelist seems similar: each has a gun and is the same distance apart from the others. Despite this, each duelist has a different possibility of hitting his opponents. Duelist A has a 90% chance of firing and hitting either oppoennt. Duelist B, however, only has a 60% chance of firing and hitting an opponent.

You are Duelist C. You have a 30% chance of firing and hitting either opponent. You can't run; running will have both of them automatically draw their guns on you. So you have to stay and do something. So, the question is who do you fire at in order to survive?

Nope. But we don't really have enough to work on to take the fight to them, so we're kinda hosed.

Oh, by the way? Don't use the post office.

"Oh...

Yeah, they warned me about that one.

What's the worse thing you see happen here?"

Hazmat men. Guys in hazmat suits with axes and flame throwers who leak poison gas when they get hit.

They only showed up twice, and only once since I've been here. The ended up coming back in October.

....Long story. I don't wanna talk about it.

"Oh so they went away... Okay I won't push it.

You going to be okay?"

"Are you going to be alright? Just sounded like whatever happened was pretty bad."

Yeah. I'm fine. Period. It's absolutely nothing.

"Okay."

[[Doesn't sound convinced.]]

"Just take care of yourself then okay?"

Hey don't worry about me. I am completely capable of taking care of myself.

"You probably can. But if you do need help, let me know and I'll try my best."
