This narrows it down to either placing the bullets next to each other, opposite each other, or skipping a slot.

Next to each other or opposite each other means that both players have danger of getting hit by one of the two. Skipping a slot means either both can hit you or neither can.

You'd have to calculate both scenarios and see which one works out best. I'll consider doing this later.

It would be exactly as Andrew stated. He is essentially going off the problems found in a Manga. When I originally started to solve the problem, I assumed random distribution because it is a given for this type of problem unless explicitly stated.

Andrew said that the answer the main character arrived at in the comic does not use simple mathematics and he figures it out by the weight of the chamber of the gun when it is spun and there was a good chance the explanation would not match up with the math...

At that point I stopped caring about the second calculation.

Today an overwhelming majority almost all of online casinos give free bonuses to their players, both on the first deposit, and on the subsequent winnings.
It is not a secret that all loyalty programs are created developed for keeping players in the casino.
However the gambling-house the casino never forgets about their own benefit. Offering a bonus in the form of prize-winning money chips, the casino, as a rule, enters an extortionate rigid algorithm of winning back each gifted dollar.
All know it is not a secret that, the law of large numbers is always on the casino side, therefore winning back bonuses can bring the player to ruin.
Today rates of winning back bonuses in various online casinos fluctuate from 1:10 to 1:30, which as a matter of fact is the latent mechanism of depriving too trustful players of money. Moreover, in some [url=http://casinofreegamesblog.com/]gambling houses [/url] there are rules according to which if a client refuses bonuses after the charge, all prize of the client is written off from the account.
The most democratic loyal online casino for today are GrandCasino, 21nova Casino, 888 Casino, JOKERBANK, AceKing.
But even on acceptable loyal conditions of winning back bonuses, skilled players don't advise beginners to fall for this bait.
In the online casino as well as in traditional gambling houses it is possible to hit the jackpot fill up bankroll only under condition of a careful game on different tables.

Edit: Just so you know, you're understanding of how the gun works is correct.

what is your point? because the chamber spins randomly, and your opponent is the one who spins it, it doesn't matter in the least how they were loaded. it's 100% dependent on where they stop the revolution of the chambers.

heck, after the chambers are spun you can't even know where the bullets are even if you loaded them yourself because the eye can't follow it at that speed.

every method of loading the bullets has equal chance. I don't think you understand statistics/probabilities well.

[spiralblitz]

actually gravity has an effect on the spin and the positions of the bullets will effect the centrifugal force since its spinning in a circle.

Also the Position the gun is held will effect the rotation and where the bullets will land.

its actually quite impossible to know where the bullets will be unless you load the gun and spin it yourself.
