Hard Questions

[Wiiiiiiilliam]

I got this from my big book of hard questions:

You are on a tropical vacation with your family and friends. You, your dad, and your best friend go on a hike. When suddenly both of them are poisoned by a venomous snake. You have the antidote in your bag but only enough for one person who do you save?

I personally would save my dad.

Feel free to make your own questions.

 

[FalloutJack]

My friend.

Sorry, this was a hard question, based on moralities? Ummm...not so much if my morality is already chosen.

 

[Les Awesome]

my dad
my best friend has owed me $20 for the last 2 years
the worthless sack of......

 

[Fwee]

They both die. I might need it later.

 

[spartan231490]

rediculous, how could this ever happen? I would save whoever was bit first, cuz that's before the other got bit. a legitimate answer, save whoever is least likely to survive the bite due to age, place of bite, ect.

 

[The Arc of Eden]

I would climb a tree and dangle it while they fight to the death for it. One of 'em is gonna die anyway, might as well get my entertainment value over it while we figure out who has the stronger desire to live.

 

[Furious Styles]

My dad. To be honest he's probably insist I give it to the friend, but I'd want to give it to him.

 

[The Rockerfly]

I would start a bidding war

Supply and demand, who can offer the highest price

 

[EeveeElectro]

I hate my father, so I wouldn't be going on a hike with him. If anything, I'd arrange it so the snake bit him, then I'd laugh at him writing in pain and tell him it's nothing compared to what he put me though.
Sorry, I have major daddy issues.
Yeah, I'd save my best friend.

 

[Erana]

Sure my dad wasn't trying to get high off the snake venom in the first place...? -.-

 

[Padwolf]

Hmm... my Dad probably

 

[Knusper]

My dad. To be honest he's probably insist I give it to the friend, but I'd want to give it to him.

Yeah, what he said - but my Dad is just too friendly to leave to die. Come to think of it, my best friend would probably insist in not being saved, too.

 

[Kortney]

My Dad's already dead - so I'd guess I'd have to go with my friend/

 

[dancinginfernal]

I give it to my dad, as my ability to see into the future tells me my friend will get hit by a crashing plane in several minutes.

 

[Paksenarrion]

I'd wrestle the snake, kill it, and give the anti-venom to myself.

My friend and my dad can just spawn again at camp. That's what they get for screaming "LEEEEEEROOOOOY JEEEEEEENKINS!!!!" while rushing a poisonous snake.

 

[Jedamethis]

...Friend. Though I'd probably call for help if it happened.

I don't find these moral dilemmas hard because they're too abstract. What I find hard are bizarre lateral thinking puzzles that function on Sierra adventure game logic, where only one answer is correct and there's almost no way of determining that answer without taking a wild leap of logic or making a very lucky guess. I can't think laterally, I guess. I'm way too rigid.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

A man lives in a house, alone. He lives a thousand miles away from the nearest person, meaning no one ever visits. He lies dead in his bedroom. There is no blood. No bruising on his body. Just a wet floor beneath him. How did he die?

Spoiler: Solution?

He committed suicide by cutting open his water bed and drowning himself in it before the water poured out.

See what I mean? There are plenty of alternate solutions that could have made sense, but the silly one is right. oO
