Would you put your life on the line?

I absolutely take the gamble. I think 1-50 is about as comfortable as I am with this.

[Alobar]

I'm walking. I prolly wouldn't take the gamble until I had like 1 in 10K odds. Tho if I was confronted with such a situation I would be doubtful my odds were anywhere close to what I was supposedly being offered and I would walk regardless of the money or how high the odds that were offered were.

This whole setup sounds like a con to me. Some guy has $10M in a suitcase and he asks me to pick a number between 1 and 50, and then he's going to try to guess it... and if he guesses wrong I get the money? Come on, nobody would offer that unless he has some David Blaine way of figuring out the number you wrote down.

Forget about the dying part of it -- even if I didn't get killed if he guessed my number, I'd still be suspicious that this whole thing was a scam.

Just saw this thread, can't believe it took this long. PJ is right, it IS a scam. My cousin was propositioned with this scam and now EVERYONE knows what number he guessed. PJ, don't just forget about the dying part of the scam though, they do actually kill you as well.

To you who answer yes. Would you perhaps change your mind if you were in a lineup with 500 people and you were the last one and you had just witnessed 20 deaths?

[Henry17]

If there had been 20 deaths I'd get suspicious since the guy is guessing correctly at twice the expected rate.

If there has been 10 deaths then it wouldn't change anything.
