If you could create a Fallout Vault experiment, what would you do?

I'd have two vaults with a population of 500 male/female = 50/50.

then after five years I'd kill 90% of one gender resulting in a population of 275 in each vault. After ten years I unify the vaults.

I'd like to see how the male majority vault fares, the female majority would prolly be ok.

100 vaults all connected to a huge vault. In each vault there is constant propaganda that they are the chosen people. The first vault opens after 101 years, the second after 102 years etc, and the huge vault opens after 500 years.

The propaganda would brainwash the people to be less and less tolerant of other people the later that they are released (the first vault to be released into the big vault is the most tolerant and the last to be released is the least tolerant).

A vault with 20 of every robot in fallout 3 wandering around.....and just when the vault opens after 20 years they all instantly go on a killing rampage, forcing all the vault dwellers to run out screaming to the outside.

Fill the vault with vegans and then have the only source of food being live animals. They would either stand up for their beliefs and die with honour... OR be realistic in the face of an impending doom, and shotgun bambi's mother in the face...

Make a vault with excellent food, nutritional information, scientific information and engineering information. Every day after 1 year of living there they must bare knuckle fist fight slowly but increasingly more difficult enemies. These enemies are also their only source of protein and the people will get hurt so if they don't kill it their gradual wounds will kill them. After which, they must solve a practical problem concerning ventilation, water purity etc. In either situation failure to do will result in death. After a few years of this the vault will create people with the resilience, strength and intelligence of someone who has lots of it.

Would be the most enjoyable vault ever, at least until the condoms ran out.
Really? I think there'd be problems from that kind of pressure.
Certain times of the month would SUCK.

I would have a vault full of reality TV contestants, give them all a big stick.....and then release the lions. Then I could televise it to the other vaults and make a reality TV show that is actually entertaining.

I personally like Penny Arcade's idea. A vault containing one man, and a box of puppets. Personally I'd build a Vault where the memory of the day of every resident is wiped when they go to sleep. Then every so often, leave one person exempt from this mind wipe until half of the Vault receive the mind wipe and half don't.

Hypothesis: An environment will be created where nobody is sure what reality is and isn't.

I'd lock a 1000 cats in my vault and leak radiation into the food and water and see what we had when the vault was opened. We'd either get Cat from Red dwarf, or scary ass mutated saber tooths.
Or just dead cats.

This is the Fallout universe we're talking about. Only half of everything dies, the other half mutates.

I would see the effects of first dividing the people into factions at the brink of war and then arming them and killing the faction leaders.

All the vault people play portal until they have completed the game. Then are put in a Vault with no weapons, but a real Glados, and a companion cube.

100 Vault Dwellers. 5 Deathclaws would be in the Vault. They would be domesticated pets for the Dwellers. 5 more Deathclaws, the killer kind, would be released after 10 years. The Dwellers would either slaughter the whole Deathclaw population out of fear or be slaughtered themselves.
Or they would convince the domesticated Deathclaws to kill the rabid ones
