Social experiment part 2 (read part 1 first if you want to play the game)

So you press the button. For whatever reason. The story continues.

So a week goes past and you have pressed the button. About the same time of the afternoon the man dressed in black returns to your doorstep but theis time he is holding a case.
You rush out to see your prize. Opening the case there is what you can only assume to be $1,000,000 in cash stacked neatly into the case.
"There you go. Its all yours but rest assured. Someone you do not know has now died" the man says " Can I have the black box back?"
"Sure" you say handing over the black box "but can I ask what are you going to do with it now?"
"Don't worry" says the man in black. "I will continue my travels and hand the box on. Spend your money wisely though, because I will be giving the box to someone you do not know"

Better spend up quick and move house, coz he'll be back very very soon!!

Sounds like a movie script!

We tend to miss the obvious at times...

No not really, I'd just go spend the money and wait to die I guess, just like every other day.

hide the box, hehe

Before I can answer this question accurately I would need to know what exactly you are smoking.

DMNTD is very selective.

At which point he will find himself locked in the boot of my Nissan heading towards a lime pit.

Thanks for all the fish!

The scenario is obviously a setup but I find it interesting that although people are advocates of consequence, sometimes it is tougher when the consequences are not clear.

And interesting when they know specifically that their action will kill someone...

It's all pretty hypothetical though isn't it? I mean I say I'd take the money cause yeah people die everyday, nothing new there, however in absolute reality most people would either think "What a crack pot" and either push the button just as a joke because that's what it likely is, or slam the door in the loonies face.

Oh no, you mean I may die one day......?
Good to remind yourself every now and again......

Every time you go on the road you risk killing somebody you don't know, or getting killed by somebody you don't know....

**cowboyz** · 24th August 2008, 20:17

Being the nature of hypothetical it is more interesting to see how people answer the problem rather than what they answer the question. Sometimes you can make up all sorts of really silly things and you will still get those who will answer it, those who will trash it and those who wont care. The question was obviously designed to be a setup but not really intended to trap people. I find it very interesting no one has said, oh. didnt think that my life would be at risk, I change my mind.

I dont know much - that is obvious and theres no point in pretending - but I do know that you will not get out of life alive.

As i binned the box at the first question , i now have the right of taking this fools money he carelessly carried round to my home, take the slap on the wrist for white collar crime of kicking the dick off my property without his case and then denying any knowledge of it to any authorities !
