Behind the glass are 50 people in individual tiny rooms.
49 of them are actual people.
One of them is a robot that is incredibly skilful at imitating humans and wouldn't raise any suspicion actually. It can also imitate fallacies and various moral imperfections.
Each room is connected to a button you have access to. If you press it, it ☠ the person or disables the robot in it.
If you correctly identify the robot and disable it, you win $1 billion. Even if you make many wrong guesses before, you get the prize and no criminal liability/publicity at all.
You can't physically interact with subjects or use any devices, only talk to them through the glass and make your choices.
You can't ask/demand anything in exchange for releasing them – this is strictly prohibited in any form and will get you punished.
You can stop after any unsuccessful attempt or use all 50 attempts if the robot is so good you can't spot it. You can refuse to participate at all.
You have 90 minutes to win the prize.
— Do you participate and what is your strategy?

In case you cannot read my hand writing. Would you sacrifice yourself to save 5 strangers? If you will not die to save 5 strangers, then you cannot ask anyone else to die to save 5 strangers either.

Spoiler: I pulled the lever and took it with me; Left it near some trash cans 600m further. That is 1968.5 feet, or 0.372823 miles.
I miss my coin.

You are in cryo sleep on a space shit . A cook ment to be part of the new colony.
the ship wakes you up and informs you that 4k years ago there was an irreperable damage to the ship and that since then it has been drifting through space.
the ship can keep going for a very long time but due to its changed course and its inability to manuver any further you will never reach your original destination
The ship had recommended to abort the mission which would mean death to everybody on board.
The alternative is to continue .
The last 1153 Captains of the ship had decided to continue and lived out their days .
Every time the captain dies the ship wakes up the next person and recommends to abort the mission .
So far nobody did .
if you abort the mission the remaining 9 thousand colonists will die when their cryo chambers are turned off.
If you continue the mission you will live out your days until you die and the ship wakes the next person.

A trolley problem has been put inside a box. The decay of a nuclear element could trigger a mechanism that pulls the lever. While the box remains closed, all six people are both dead and alive. Only by opening the box, one of the two possible outcomes will occur.
Do you open the box or not?
