A man is in a maze, suddenly the power shuts off. He walks on and it gets colder and colder. He comes to a set of doors numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4. He walks through door 3. Then, he comes to three more doors labeled A,B, and C. He goes through B and it locks behind him trapping him so he cannot turn back. In front of him are two doors. In one is a loaded gun that will shoot him and the other contains an electric chair that he will be strapped to. Which one should he choose?
Common Wrong Answers
“The door with the loaded gun”
Choosing the door with the loaded gun is dangerous because it guarantees immediate harm, while the electric chair may not be lethal if the power is off.
“Door A”
Door A is not a viable option as it was not presented as one of the choices in the final decision; thus, it is irrelevant to the outcome.
“Door C”
Similar to Door A, Door C was not mentioned as a choice in the final decision, making it an invalid option for the man to choose.
