Default A bit of game theory for you - solution added

A little poser for you all.

Three people; Adam, Brian, and Charlie enter into a duel with each other (truel to be precise!) - a three way duel. Rules are that each person takes a one shot in turn, last man standing wins.

The rules state that the worst shot goes first, then the next worse, then the best shot. This carrys on until only one man is standing - the winner.

Adam is the best shot, Brian the second best, and Charlie is the worst shot, so Charlie goes first.

Who should charlie shoot at to give himself best chance of survival?
