'There was like an 8% chance'


"8% who the hell taught you math"

Lol funniest part of the movie, in movies that russian roulette stuff always works but in real life it would probably happen like it did in this movie.

I liked it even more because he came up with the correct answer once he took a moment to think about it. Score one for math!

reply

no he didn't. he never changed his answer.

he appeared to have a six-shooter, in which case the probability is 17% (rounded).

his two comments in the movie after his error was pointed out were:
"Maybe it was more. I don't know"
"8 times 12. 8%." (which indicates that 8% would have been right if he had a 12-shooter).

reply

Hm, I guess so. At least he realized the odds were higher than he first guessed. It's funny because calculating the percentage doesn't help because he knew it was a 1 in 6 chance and that's all you need to know.

reply

after he was told he was bad a math, he was talking to himself, recalculating the percentage... I didn't hear if he came up with the right answer or what he ended that with since he was talking so low...

reply

That was pretty good. Overall I thought this movie was a failure, but I did enjoy a few elements of it and that was one.
