On an early morning, three rivals get together on an open spot in a dark wood to compose a quarrel by means of guns. A kind of duel, but with three persons: A, B, and C. The rules of the game are:
- they draw lots who may fire first, second and third;
- next, they will continue firing at each other in this order until only a single person is alive;
- every person decides himself at which person he fires;
- everyone knows that A hits (kills) in 100% of all shots, B hits (kills) in 80% of all shots and C hits (kills) in 50% of all shots;
- each person chooses his ideal strategy;
- no one is killed by a stray bullet.
