[UA] Risking It

[Ratoslov Lenev]

Consider the following situations:
1. A bodybag lies down on the median line of a highway for one hour, 
when the highway has a traffic rate of 2 cars per minute.
2. A bodybag takes six identical pistols, and loads one of them. He 
puts them in a bag, mixes them up, draws one, and fires it at his head.
3. A bodybag gets an assistant, and before leaving for the day on 
buisness, tells him to roll a six-sided die and load a pistol only if 
the die comes up six. When he gets back, the bodybag takes the pistol
and fires it at his head.
4. A bodybag finds a pistol in the hands of someone who committed 
suicide, and decides to test if he committed suicide on purpose, or
while playing russian roulette.
5. A avatar of the Mad Statistician places a bomb in a bodybag's 
apartment that will explode when he opens the door 1 in 6 times. The
other five times, it will simply deliver a message. Unknowingly, he 
opens the door.
In each situation, does the adept gain a charge? Why?
-- 
The trick is to babble loudly all the time, 
whether or not you have anything to say.
