I think I am right in thinking that gunslingers didn't do into a stand off with the battleplan of "I'll wait and see what the other guy/guys do first".
The guy with the worst hand can still win a game of poker is the central theme of the puzzle.

By your assumption, Cowboy #3 says fuck it, I'm a pussy, and I'll just waste my shot hoping that the other two will focus on themselves. So, let's just say for the sake of argument, that your assumptions in this logic puzzle (kind of a misnomer) are correct.
Cowboy #2 has a 40% chance of missing Cowboy #1
Cowboy #1 has a 10% chance of missing Cowboy #2.
40% + 10% = 50%
So therefore, you have a 50% chance that at least 1 cowboy will also remain standing along with the pussy cowboy that shot his gun in the air...AND you also make the fucking assumption that the other two cowboys will then focus on one another.
I say again, OP..you failed big time with this puzzle. Too many assumptions. And on top of that, no self respecting cowboy would throw in the towel...maybe that's how they do things in the UK..but not here in the Wild West.
50% is BETTER ODDS than 10%.
I for one cannot believe you are focusing on the level of fucking bravery of an imaginary cowboy in a probability puzzle!!!!!!
"That's not how we do things in the wild west"
Your puzzle requires the person figuring the puzzle to suspect that the 10% guy is a chicken shit, how else would be able to draw the conclusion that he would fire his shot in the air?

Only if he bluffs, and when facing 2 other men with guns, ya don't wanna bluff.
There's the fucking flaw with your "logic" dumbass.

Only in America would using your brain to calculate the probability of coming out of a situation the best way make you a "chicken shit".

Using your brain and watching two cowboys kill each other while you walk off with the fair maiden? - chicken shit.

You implied I was actively involved in solving the puzzle, that I was involved in the thread. I wasn't.
If it's true that you actually did start your own business you are doomed to fail...because you are a dumb bitch.

The fact they are cowboys with guns is irrelevant dipshit.
It could be three zulus with spears or three cavemen with rocks the solution is the same.

A hope kid doesn't start a business, because if a bank offers him a 50% chance of making it a success and another bank offers him a 10% of making it a success?
He'll go with the second option because he's all man!

You said that the last time you posted a puzzle. I love watching you get your panties in a bunch over puzzles. Someone can call you a cum-guzzling midget and you're totally unflappable but they fuck with your puzzles and you go all hissy-fit.
You must be a blast in a game of Scrabble.

It seems like a lot of people here just can't handle being wrong.....ever, then when I reveal the solution the whinging starts, "my solution would have worked as well!", "you didn't tell us cowboy 3 was a pussy!", "there are too many assumptions for it too work!"
At the same time though the whinging and complaining also reveals the incredible level of retardedness of some of the members here.
"Even if I only had a 10% chance I still would have fired! dats how we take care of business in UMerica!"

No it doesn't moron.
It requires the person figuring out the puzzle to use probability to calculate the risk of who to shoot and firing or not firing.

The question.
Who should cowboy 3 shoot?
I guess after 4 pages I shouldn't expect you to remember the riddle.

Nobody.
NOT a trick question dick.
Assuming that the cowboy would have to shoot somebody was YOUR error dick.
Anyway I don't want to keep you from your wonderful new career and your fledgling business empire so run along.

It's fucking sunday moron.
The question was "who should number 3 shoot".
get past it, your answer does not align with the question.
The prize is behind one of these three doors, "which door do you chose"?
Ummmmm, none of them.

The fact that dick doesn't understand the concept of "who should I shoot?", answer - "nobody", is especially worrying when you consider dick used to be a cop.
He is know trying and failing to suggest that the puzzle was a trick question because he couldn't figure it out, which it wasn't.
I don't know trixie that well but I do know that she is smarter than dick.
