The Good, the Bad, and the Mathematician: Answers
(See Question.)
The best strategy for the Mathematician must be to shoot the ground until one of the better gunman has killed the other.
He will then have first shot at the remaining man giving him a better chance of survival.
The further problem of the probabilities that each will win can be determined by a probability tree.
This proves that in a 3 way duel it is better to be good at maths than to be good at shooting.
