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.

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?

Is the guy Uri Geller or Criss Angel?

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?

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.

TBH, I'm more likely to do it if it's me he's shooting, not a stranger.

Phone Conversation with my wife about this:

Me: hey got a question for you
Wife: ok
Me: If a guy on the street approaches you with 10 Million dollars and ...
Wife: I'll take the money!
Me: Ok let me finish, You will write down a number between 1 and 50, if he gueses the number you wrote down he shoots you, if not you get the money would you..
Wife: I'll do it..
Me: Ok but what if..
Wife: for 15 Million he can guess 2 numbers
Me: What numbers minimum would you take.
Wife: $10k
Me: No i meant what number minimum would you do it for, 1-40? 1-10? etc...
Wife: 1-20 and i would do 1-50 for 100k

You can see i must be a great husband!
