The Hypothetical Situation Game

[Incompl te]

Here be a game that I thought of out of boredom in class. The poster writes up a hypothetical situation, usually having some kind of problem to overcome, and the next poster states a way to bypass the problem or proceed in the situation. These situations can be ANYTHING; from whether to buy ketchup or katsup, or how you would rob the highly secured vault.

For example, the situation could be: "You're told you can be anyone (factual or fictional) in history in their time period, for a day. Who do you choose?"

To which the replier could state: "Bill Gates so I could transfer most of his cash to my bank account."

NOTE: To keep things simpler, quote the situation you're answering or make some acknowledgement to the one you're asking. Also, feel free to answer ones already answered as it could be interesting to see how different people think.

Then the replier posts up a situation for the next Escapist user. It could be a new situation or it could follow on from the last one (E.G. If had Bill Gates' money, what do you think he'd buy first?)

So, heres the first situation:

You are trapped in a room with George W Bush, Michael Jackson (Resurrected in this situation) and Leonardo Da Vinci. You can ask one of them, a question of your choice, which they will answer truthfully to. Who do you choose and what do you ask?

You are trapped in a room with George W Bush, Michael Jackson (Resurrected in this situation) and Leonardo Da Vinci. You can ask one of them, a question of your choice, which they will answer truthfully to. Who do you choose and what do you ask?

I have to go with the obvious yet controversial choice. I'd ask MJ: "Did you have sex with any one of those children?" I know that better people than I would ask Da Vinci an important question on how to improve society but I'm answering this question truthfully to the best of my ability.

Next situation:

You are the second in command of the evil empire on the cusp of world domination. Your only real opponent is a plucky and determined group of heroes that you know hold the keys to destroying everything you and all around you have accomplished. Your boss isn't worried one bit however. In fact (s)he is rather over-confident in his/her minion's abilities and doesn't view the good guys as a threat at all. The question is: what do you order at the snack bar during lunch hour? Apparently the ham sandwich is good today but the garden salad is always delicious.

Roast beef sandwich.

You have a knife and a group of small children, what do you do?
