Here you go...

I have 3 bottles, but only one has anything in it. The problem is that 2 other guys want it, too.

The young guy is quick and grabs a bottle, but it's empty and he (being the nice guy, I'm sure he is), tried to give it back to me--- unfortunately, I ducked and it smashed into the wall behind me. )

Now, the 6 foot tall, 300 pound, muscle-bound guy behind you also wants a drink.

Q1.. What are the odds that you get to choose first? (taking into account the size and weight of the other guy)

Q2... What are the odds that you choose the correct one and actually get that drink? (don't forget to take into account the result of the outcome on that other guy)
