I've decided to calculate the exact odds for everyone:
Choice #1 - You have 9.9009% chances of dying.
Choice #2 - You have 30.0000% chances of dying.
Are you still sure about your choice ? ;-)
I wouldn't sacrifice everyone: mine is #1 for obvious reasons. Reason will
force you towards the choice that increases the likelyhood of prolongation
of your existence... that is, unless you value your life the same or lesser
than that of those 100 strangers you are leading.
Slight edit:
If this isn't enough, let's up the ante a bit. Suppose everything remains
the same except for the fact that you are now leading 1000 people, not
100: will you still refuse to sacrifice 10 in the hopes that 1001 will live ?
How about 10000 ? 100000 ? A million ? Are you still so sure about your
choice ? ;-)
