What would you do in a particular situation? How would you react? Why did you choose a particular way?
How different would it be from someone else's reaction?

SCENARIO - You are a train driver. You are driving along a track and see a group of boys playing on the track.

There is an alternative unused track that you can take. But there is ONE boy playing on the track.

You have to make a split decision. Would you remain on the track or take the unused track?

Why?

its not a trick question TM

Stick to the original track. Anyways the boys have to disperse seeing the train. Even if we go on the other track we hope for the boy to get off the track, but the unused track is an unknown factor, putting the lives of the train passengers at risk :P

True Emu.

on the one hand we have the boys doing something illegal
on the other hand we have the solitary boy who is not breaking the rules

but doesnt community good (group of boys) take precedence over individual good?

[sathya_1979]

If 10 break the rules and 1 stick to it, who should face the consequences of breaking? 10 or 1?

[NOV]

if a decision will kill 10 instead of 1, what would be the choice?

[SoftSword]

the tricky question here would be, what if all the boys there are innocent and not doing any illegal tasks...
and if there is a risk for the train if they try to switch the task?
