I think most of you guys are familiar with this kind of game. But if you don't, then I'll try to explain it.

Person A give 2 or more choices to start the game.
Person B pick one of the choices, then person B give 2 or more choices of his/her own.
Person C(or A) pick one of the choices, then person B give 2 or more choices of his/her own.

...and so on. Are we clear?


But of course, with this one, I want to add a little something to it. It's no fun choosing between apple and orange. The choices shall be situations only. :closedeyes:

Example:

Quote

Person A:
If someone sends you a letter saying that you've been selected for a contest which you can win 1,000,000, but you have to spend your time in a haunted house, would you go? The letter is valid, and you know it! Because there were news report on people going missing after they visit.

Person B:
No.
If you are stuck on an island, a fairy appears and give you two objects, a knife and a lighter. If you have to choose one, what would you choose?

So let's start. I'll reask my question:

Yes. I don't believe in haunted houses.
If you were given the choice between programming in a language you despise, and not having a job, would you take it?
Programming is a branch of mathematics.

Yes. I have to consider more than myself and at least it is a programming job.
If someone offered you the source code to Windows and told you that you could change it and sell it to make profit (all being legal and profit could be $1 to $1,000,000,000) but you would never be allowed to use any other OS, would you do it?

Yuck, the Windows source code. No.

If you were stuck up a tree with only a banana and a watermelon to put in your mouth, which one would you go for?

if you have to choose between a boring job at a factory that pays 5$ an hour , and coding that pays 1$ an hour, what will you choose?
yo homie i heard you like one-line codes so i put a one line code that evals a decrypted one line code that prints "i love one line codes"
eval(base64_decode("cHJpbnQgJ2kgbG92ZSBvbmUtbGluZSBjb2Rlcyc7"));

I'm not sure I can live with either pay. But the answer is it has to depend on the situation. If I can afford to get pay $1 an hour, then programming. Else, factory.

Suppose you're stuck on an island all by yourself. You are given a choice of an old model cellphone, which has service and 56K internet connection or a laptop without internet connection. Which one would you choose?

Ack ninja'd. I choose to try.
In 2099, you have been convicted of a crime and given a choice of sentence: life sentence, or being marooned on a newly terraformed mars (I.E. earth as it was in maybe 12000 BC.). Which do you choose? (Assume you get tools, and supply of food for 2 months.)

I would go for the life sentence, because after the two months' food runs out, I will perish on Mars.

If you had to either get in a freezing cold bath, or a boiling hot one, which one would you choose? Assuming they are both at the far extremes of the temperature scale.

I'm afraid of the cold so boiling.

Now, suppose you were given a choice to go back in time to change your mistake. But when you do that, there will be extreme consequences, you don't know whether it's good or bad. Would you do it?
