“Each participant pulled the trigger on two occasions; the victim discharged the fatal bullet on his third attempt. […] Four of the victims had pulled the trigger at least 3 times before their fatality.”
Via kottke from a study on Russian Roulette incidents in Kentucky.
The Kentucky schools need to teach a little bit more about mathematical chance. If you pull the trigger enough times that one bullet will, in fact, come out.
Of course, it may not be the math, but rather the meth.
No, it’s the math. sigh…
I, personally, think it’s interesting that there are enough Russian Roulette incidents in Kentucky that it’s worth doing a study. You’ve just got to wonder what’s wrong with some people.
Oh, well, gotta run. Off to my mumblypeg tournament.
Probably mint juleps.
