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?

Not necessarily. People sometimes stop doing something pointless once it's been brought to their attention.

The key word there is sometimes. It's never a guarantee.

Yes, you're quite right.

Raddishes, though turnips will work as well if they are particularly discolored.

Though I am working on discovering the magical properties of beets.

Other then "eat them", what uses do they have?
