How do they get worse if you spin? It’s still 1/6 odds of dying,iid events.

It's 6/11 overall chance of dying if spinning, no?

Dude, it's a nerd-snipe conversation derailing attempt. Don't take the bait.
Talk about space stuff here, not the statistical nature of Russian roulette.

Erm no. If it goes a round and gets passed without spinning, the chances change of course. It is 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, .. 1
