Choice one:
The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few.

I'd put up the ten to meet their maker.

i too would sacrifice the 10, but how are the 10 who die determined? is it just luck or do i, the leader, choose?

Stinger_Dude 01-14-2004 03:56 AM

I'll make the 10 die so the rest of us lives. I'll divide the people into 10 groups consisting of 10 people and do short sticks.
The person who draws out the short stick will have someone say to him in an umpire style "UUUUURRRR OUT!!!!!....."

If you choose #1, everyone has ~9.9% chances of being "chosen". It's luck
or a lack of ... biggrin:

Depends on the people i'm with...

Take a sure thing over a risk...

My motto is "no one get's left behind", besides 7-3 are good odds, better than we had at Midway.

Poseidon 01-14-2004 11:40 AM

i couldnt make the choice of the 10 ppl to die...

so i'd probably take the risk.

imported_Fluffy_Bunny 01-14-2004 12:15 PM

If it were below 50% I would consider it, but 70% is worth a shot, long as we get to die in style...

Proteus 01-14-2004 12:38 PM

Yeah this is tough. If I knew and were friends with the 100 people, then I probalbly would take the chance for everyone to live.

Statistically, ten dead is a better option. If the situation played itself out 10 times, then the 70/30 situation would lead to three times (roughly) more casualties - 100 dead vs 303.

Personally, 70/30 odds are good enough for me and I would chance it.

descry 01-14-2004 01:43 PM

let the ten die

01-14-2004 03:33 PM

Well, depending on the circumstances, I would let the ten die.

Miscguy 01-14-2004 04:42 PM

Only if i get to choose the ten.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.

Himmler 01-14-2004 05:19 PM

id go with nuimber 2, since we all could live. if you did number one, for the rest of your life you would regret it and wonder what if i took number 2 and we all lived....?
