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

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

 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 luckor a lack of ...  biggrin:

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

 so i'd probably take the risk.

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

 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.

 Only if i get to choose the ten. 
 The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.
