Entry Response #1

You receive the following message:

You have been chosen as the most likely to succeed in the greatest, most perilous undertaking of all time- a quest of vital importance to [your] family and the world at large... If you accept, you shall be given the first of thirty-nine clues. These clues will lead you to a secret, which, should you find it, will make you the most powerful, influential human beings on the planet.

Otherwise you will receive a bank voucher, activated if and when you renounce your claim to the challenge. If you so choose, each of you may walk out of this room with one million dollars and never have to think about anything again. Or... you may choose a clue- a single clue that will be your only inheritance. No money, no property. Just a clue that might lead you to the most important treasure in the world and make you powerful beyond belief... or it might kill you. One million dollars or the clue. You have five minutes to decide"

Take 5 minutes to quietly respond. Which would you choose and why? What would you prefer, a simple cash settlement, or the possibility of adventure beyond belief? Make sure to justify your reasons with examples! What would you do with the money? Or where would you hope the trail of clues would take you in the world?

  1. I would most likely walk out with the 1 Million dollars. Why? Because, you have to think, you could just have a million dollars, or you could have a chance to die for something you don't even know. This is why I would take the Million, invest half of it into, Google in the stock market, wait 4 week's, sell the shares, make 4 Million dollars, reside in the Bahamas', and most likely settle in a nice house by he shore, having my own insurance company, which provides health insurance and minimum wage paying to employees. Sure it's not a perfect payment, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
