Question

Henry has been caught stealing cattle, and is brought into town for justice. The judge is his ex-wife Gretchen, who wants to show him some sympathy, but the law clearly calls for two shots to be taken at Henry from close range. To make things a little better for Henry, Gretchen tells him she will place two bullets into a six-chambered revolver in successive order. She will spin the chamber, close it, and take one shot. If Henry is still alive, she will then either take another shot, or spin the chamber again before shooting.

Henry is a bit incredulous that his own ex-wife would carry out the punishment, and a bit sad that she was always such a rule follower. He steels himself as Gretchen loads the chambers, spins the revolver, and pulls the trigger. Whew! It was blank. Then Gretchen asks, 'Do you want me to pull the trigger again, or should I spin the chamber a second time before pulling the trigger?'


What should Henry choose?

Answer 1

He choose to spin the chamber again.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Henry choose to spin the chamber again because if his ex-wife spins the chamber the same way as she has done earlier, there is a chance that the chamber has no bullet and he get success in saving his life. If he choose to pull the trigger second time, there is a possibility to have a bullet in the next chamber so henry chooses to spin the chamber again.
