Math Fun Days are a weekly event we're holding to get math teachers talking, problem solving and having fun together. Participants gather in Google hangouts and work together to solve compelling problems or play math games that they can then bring to students in their classrooms. If you want to participate or have a great problem for us to solve, tweet @ one of the moderators in the sidebar.

Three Way Duel (MFD 2 P 2)
Andy, Bob and Charley are in a shootout. Andy has a 30% chance of hitting his target, Bob has a 100% chance of hitting his target and Charley has a 50% chance of hitting his target. They each shoot once in order Andy, Bob, Charley, Andy, Bob, etc until only one of them is left standing. What is Andy's best course of action?
