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?

Have you ever seen a real duel?

.......

I've been in fights.

[And lots of them. And ones that could've been lethal. And has had guns and weapons pointed at him. But no real duels.]

That's not really answering the question.

Well.

Maybe you shouldn't ask dumb questions.

Dummy.

If you're going to insult someone, at least make it original.

I'm plenty original. I just don't need to waste it on big fat jerks like you.
