| Aug 5, 2011 at 3:27 | comment | added | Eric | @Robert: If I computed it correctly, with the same probabilities, if players are allowed to hold fire in his turn, then 1 to 10 should target: 4,5,5,2,3,H,1,1,7,8, where H means hold fire. Interestingly, anyone could be a first target, even if he's most inaccurate. | |
| Aug 4, 2011 at 21:49 | comment | added | Robert Israel | I tried the case $n=10$ with hitting probabilities $1/20, 3/20, \ldots, 19/20$. If my programming is correct, there are very many cases where the optimal strategy does not say to shoot at the most accurate person alive. For example, when all are still alive players 1 to 10 should target players 8, 7, 5, 2, 9, 8, 3, 5, 5, 9 respectively. | |
