A gun sits on a line. Every second, the gun shoots a bullet to the right at a random constant speed between 0 and 1. If two bullets collide they annihilate. It's probability 0, but if more than two bullets collide, the slowest bullets annihilate in pairs. Can we expect the speed of the furthest bullet to approach 1 over time?
