We're playing a game of Russian Roulette. I take 2 consecutive bullets out of the 6 bullet revolver and spin the chamber. I go first and shoot the bullet at my head, which misses.

Say you use SVN for source control..you have several revisions of a file...R1, r2, r3..etc..Someone checked in a bug and the revision became bad..need t find the first bad revision..gave a function findBadRevision(int goodRevision, int badRevision) so for e.g the revisions were GGBB and function passes in 0,4 so the first bad revision is 2. There exists a function boolean hasBug(int revision) which will tell us if a certain revision has a bug. can assume good revision < bad revision
