in Chit-Chat
A man places a gun in your hand, and proceeds to conclusively prove that if you do not kill another innocent man (who he points out) in the next hour, that man will step in front of a bus which will then go over a bridge and kill 30 schoolchildren. What do you do?

    Can I give him the best screw of his life before I kill him?

    That would even it out.

    Tell him to kill that guy himself.

    Dur, I would shot the guy who gave me the gun and I would not even let him finish whatever he was doing with Yukon Joy.

    follow him for the next hour... wait... if he comes encouter with a bus within the last minute, shoot him before he has a chance to step infront of it... obviously, one innocent man is worth 30 innocent children.

    No they don't. The man giving you the gun, is the same guy pointing out the guy that will stand in front of the bus. He already knows who that guy is. So he has the power to stop him. Tell him to kill the guy himself.

    What about "you may not kill" is confusing? I would, however, talk to the authorities about the crazy guy & what he's up to. And then, just to hedge my bets, I'd go to the bridge to see what I could do to make sure there was no crash or to help out if there was one.

    Fascinating.......I would try to confine them both until the authorities arrive. In theory.....But I would probably shoot the guy handing me the gun.

    My husband said shoot the innocent man in the knee so he can't walk then kill the first guy.
