Default ..Another dilemma for Tuesday/100 boxes...
..I know it's been done before but why not...



..you are in a room with 100 boxes in it... you are told that in 99 of the boxes is 10 million GBP or US dollars if preferred currency and this has been verified to be true but in one of the boxes is a bomb which will go off and instantly kill you the moment the box is open, which is also true.... you are also told you can choose one box and open it, if you pick one of the 99 with money in, you can keep it but if you choose the box with the bomb you're dead...would you risk it?

Is the 10 million split between the 99 boxes or is it in each?

I'd risk it... the death would be so quick, you wouldn't even know.

although saying this, with my luck would I still chance it? hmm....

Definitely risk it. You wouldn't even know you're dead if you died because you'd be ... dead.

I would 100% risk it. I'm normally quite unlucky but even if the bomb went off, I would already be dead before I knew so I couldn't exactly regret it.

Dunno, perhaps someone could choose a number from 1-100 and everyone guesses?
