Thoughts on the Monty Hall reference... by firing five times in a row, Outis' chance of survival was 1/6, or ~17%. But if they had "switched" their chamber Monty Hall-style by randomly spinning the barrels after each trigger pull, their chance of survival would have been (5/6)^5, or ~40%. Everyone would probably have been just as awed/horrified if Outis had gone for this more survivable option. But Outis would have known. Maybe they couldn't pass up the extra chance to die.

this is true! they mentioned monty hall to imply that by going first, they had more of a chance at "losing," so there was no loss to letting them go first.
