Came across this Facebook Brain Teaser Interview Question:

A Russian gangster kidnaps you. He puts two bullets in consecutive order in an empty six-round revolver, spins it, points it at your head and shoots. *click* You’re still alive. He then asks you, “do you want me to spin it again and fire or pull the trigger again right away?”

For each option, what is the probability that you’ll be shot?

Spin and shoot.. if he doesnt spin.. the probability of getting a bullet is 2 out of remaining 5.. where as if he spins its 2 out of remaining 6.. so if he spins probability of getting an empty shell increases..

Curious to see if anyone else solves this, my brain is just not working today haha

funny

I would just run away haha

1/4 if you allow him to pull the trigger directly, otherwise 1/3. Better probability in letting him shoot directly 😭🤣

I would be glad if he kidnapped me, always wanted to visit Mascow, Russia.

I think 50/50?

I'm wondering what kind of job this type of question would be asked for. Very odd.

This basic probability question was in Google interview? Wow

3L with mostly A’s and B’s. I am having the worst luck trying to find work for after school and my experience working with lawyers has left me completely dejected. I cannot get an interview to save my life. I was so excited to get an externship summer after 2L with a small business and IP firm only to get yelled at on the phone a few times for not doing an assignment correctly. Mind you, I was working FOR FREE as it was a school connected externship. That made me never want to work in the law.

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
