Re: Would you put your life on the line?
[ QUOTE ]
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? [/ QUOTE ] He's running above expectation, thus there's a lower chance that I will die. Ship the chedda!

What if he kills a random person on the street instead of you, would that change anything? [/ QUOTE ] A lot of ethical systems would have an issue with this. For myself it would make it a no brainier. I could care less what happens to random people on the street.

Re: Would you put your life on the line?
1 in 50 to die? I see one-outers all the time. No thanks.. I don't take $1 billion for 1 in 50. I might take $1 billion for 1 in 500 odds tho... then again, prob not.
Life is just way too short and precious. 1 million years after you're dead, you'll only just be starting to be dead. L8r.. BB

Re: Would you put your life on the line?
Think you are forgetting that even if he does pick the right number, you get shot, then you are dead. Not like if he picks your number you are going to get tortured to death.
He picks the number, looks at the paper, then bang if he gets it. If he plans to shoot you at a later date, and you dont know if he got the right number or not it makes it 100x times worse. I guess thinking like this confirms my atheist views. I of course take the money btw [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Would you put your life on the line?
for those of you saying no way you'll take this, consider how many times you risk your life driving to work to earn an insignificant amount of money in comparison.
if you make $50k/year, you'll drive to work and back about 40,000 times before you make $10 million. if you can expect to die once in 4 million one way trips, you're getting the same odds as with this suitcase/gun proposition. the only difference is you have to work for 200 years. if you put any thought at all into it, the answer should be pretty obvious.
