Re: Is this cool with you?
I will take and put it into my notes and work with it.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Hi gAr;
How did you label your rows and columns?

Re: Is this cool with you?
Hi bobbym,
Here is the state diagram with probabilities.
B6 means second player with 6 bullets, A3 means first player with 3 bullets, DA means A is dead, BA means both are alive etc.

I am labeling it like that too! That is sort of like a check.

Re: Is this cool with you?
Yes, it would be easier to check for mistakes, if any.
And the software which I used to draw is JFLAP. It's a mighty software for dealing with automata theory!

Hi gAr;
I have not been able to find anything wrong with your Markov chain. Could be because it is correct.

Re: Is this cool with you?
Hi bobbym,
Thanks for checking.
What confuses me is this: Take E.g. the state A5. A gets B with probability 5/12, or transitions to B5 with probability 7/12, which includes the chance of not firing also.
If A didn't fire, then there should be a possible transition to A5. Don't know how the chain takes care of that!

Re: Is this cool with you?
Hi gAr;
I am not sure I am understanding what you are asking. In your problem there is no option of not firing. If you wanted to have that then you could put the probability into the intersection of row a5 and column a5. That would mean there is a chance of A5 -> A5.

Hi,
I mean A pulls the trigger, but the cylinder slot is empty.

Re: Is this cool with you?
Hi gAr;
I see what you are saying. Right now it looks like that is being combined to he aims fires and misses. Maybe you could create more choices?

Re: Is this cool with you?
One way may be to name the states as A6B6, A5B6,A5B5, ... , A3B4, ... A1B1. That would be too many states.
You get what I mean?

Re: Is this cool with you?
I think it is easier to reword the problem. Or, increase the choices, right now A5 has two choices. Make a third choice of when the cylinder is empty. At least the matrix does not get bigger.

Re: Is this cool with you?
I tried that too.
If choices are increased, then from A5 there would be a possibility to go to B5,B4,B3,B2 or B1 and similarly for the others.
Then calculating those probabilities would be a bigger task.
I'll take a little break, see you later.

Re: Is this cool with you?
Absolutely! Since I put the wrong answer up there first I will expect my name to go first when we name it the bobbym gAr solution.
Kidding aside, I was thinking that the problem could me modelled like this
1) A5 fires and kills B, game over.
2) A5 fires and misses so control passes to B5.
3) A5 has an empty chamber so he stays in A5. He spins the cylinder and repeats 3) until 1 or 2 occurs.
