A mad Scientist kidnaps you and Daryl. He puts you both in serperate rooms, tied to a chair, but with your arms free. This chair is a standard electrocution chair, with wiring connected to a clock on the wall. This clock is sychronized with the one in Daryl's room, where he is in similar straits. The Scientist explains it very clearly. He will give each of you a remote, with one button on it. If you press this button, the machine engages and electrocutes you, (which, specifically, causes arythmia, stopping your heart and leading to complete circulatory failure. ThVery uncomfortable),but open's Daryl's restraints and allows him to be free. The scientist notifies you the moment the other is dead. if neither of you press it in a hour, of course, neither of you override the circuit, and BOTH of you die.
He moniters both of you during this, so there is no tomfoolery. If either of you attempt to escape, BOTH of you die right then and there. If you drop the remote, of course, he'll hand it back.
3 questions come from this, 2 depending on your answers. 1#, what will you do? 2# What will happen (which includes daryl's choice). 3# will wait a moment.
Drop the remote. When the scientist goes to hand it back to me, I punch him in the face, toss him into my chair and lock him into my spot, and then hit the button. Serves the bastard right.
Wait, how would you get out of the chair in the first place without him noticing?
Arms free?
He IS watching you know. He is mad, but he is a scientist after all. Presumbably he's done it before, and people have tried oher stunts. Must kidnap alot of people to make up for the ones who bias the results with their failed escape attempts.If the electric shock somehow manages to not kill you, he walks in, and blows your damn brains out.
The primary problem with that ebbor is you can't communicate your intentions. As such, the likelihood of you both pressing it simultaneously is very, very slim.
The most interesting possible result of this is where BOTH parties decide they should be the one to be saved. The clock ticks... At around 59 minutes, they will both get very panicked. One wonders what they would do.
