A conundrum for y'all

[lex137]

Red for me, some is better than none. I would like to hit the green, but couldn't miss out on a mill.

[thedave1164]

What if I am color blind?

[Zundfolge]

What if I am color blind?

Then press the brown one.

[generalmeow]

Green. Easy come, easy go.

[cfortune]

The people answering green, would you still take that chance if it were phrased a little different? Would you give up $1,000,000 for a 50% chance to get $100,000,000?

You technically have the $1,000,000 already since its a sure thing.



I'd go red for sure.

[kidicarus13]

I'm not greedy, give me red.

[sniper7]

Can we hit them simultaneously?
I'd want more than anything to hit green, but red would be the way to go

[wctriumph]

RED

I'm not so lucky, especially with a last name of Murphy!

This makes it a completely different question. If you already have $1MM, then you know either;

1. How hard it is to make $1MM, in which case you press red to keep your money

or

2. How easy it is to make $1MM, in which case you press green knowing that you can make your big gamble back easily.

This is a question of perspective, not a question of risk aversion.

I would push the red button. For most of us who didn't grow up wealthy, it is really really hard to make that much money in one lump sum.

Red for me. Besides it's only $670,000 after the Uncle and Hick take their cut.
