OK, I just rememberd this simple puzzle i heard sometime back. i dont remember it completely, but the essence should be clear.

Suppose there are three people: A B and C ,each with a gun.
A is a very good shot. THe probability of him hitting his target is 95%.
B and C are not that great. Their probablities of success are 50% each.

Suppose the three duel it out. Each person picks a target, and shoots. So all three shots are fired at once. Next, the remaining survivors aim the gun at each other and shoot until everyone dies. (Given that there is only a probablity of success < 1 for each round, *in theory* this duelling could go on forever. Also *in theory* everyone could die the first shot too. BUt this is a minor technicality).

The $1000, 000 question is: who does A first aim? and who does B aim? and who does C aim first?

Answer....(hint: you don't need to know math. a passing knowledge of current nepali politics should help).

he he...i'm glad you liked it. hope you're doign well..

If I were C, I would convince B that we should together try to kill A first because he is a better shooter and can kill one or both of us anytime. So when B starts firing at A, A will fire back at him. At the same instant, I will fire at B, kill him and let A realise that I saved his life. A will extend a hand of friendship towards me, and when he comes for a handshake, I will shoot him too.

Khallas , James Bond for you :)

A - Gyane
B- Maoist
C- SPA

B+C = Kick gyane's ass !!

looks like B has increased its accuracy considerably over the past few years. Good for C, A might get killed in one shot from B.
