I didnt read each and every question. just scrolling down and stop on Question #18.According to me the answer is this "Pulling the triger without spinning have more chance that I get killed."Why? Because there are total 6 slots and 1 is already skipped. Now there are 5 slots left, 3 are empty and 2 havebullets in them. There is 40% chance that I'll be shot if he fire.But if he spin the revolver then the counter will be reset and now there are 4 empty slots and 2 have bullets inthem. Now there is 33.32% chance that I'll be shot.Thats it

Juan De Meer Escat · Universidad Carlos III de MadridSorry but you are wrong. It is true that there are 5 slots left, 3 are empty and 2 have bullets, BUTremember that the 2 bullets are consecutive so its imposible that you hit the second bullet (before thefirst). There are 4 possibilities: 00011, 00110, 01100 and 11000. Only the last combination will kill you sothere is 25% chance of dying pulling the trigger again

Sherif Maher Eaid · R&D Software Engineer at IdealabsQuestion #1 and #11:Fairly the same thing, we use a method called "fast and slow pointers" where we drop one egg/light bulb everyfloor starting first, and the other egg/light bulb every two floors. whenever the "fast" one breaks, we use the otherone to test the floor right beneath it.
Question #3:There are about 1.5 Billiion people on facebook as of Q2 2015, assuming birthdays are evenly distributed over theyear. we can easily know the answer by dividing 1.5Bn/365
