We have got a failure to communicate. My quesion is a little more complex.

Putting a revolver, loaded with one round, to my head and pulling the trigger twice is 1:6 for the first trigger pull and then 1:5 for the second pull.

But ... for the TOTAL EVENT what are the odds of self-offing?

Pick up the gun, pull trigger twice, what is chance of being dead?

It dawned on me later that’s maybe what you meant.

Not sure, and I don’t even know where my old stats books ar to find the formula.

Would it be 1:5.5?
