From The Book of Questions by Gregory Stock.
Question #44: You are offered $1,000,000 for the following act: Before you are ten pistols - only one of which is loaded. You must pick up one of the pistols, point it at your forehead, and pull the trigger. If you can walk away you do so a millionaire. Would you accept the risk?

I'm finding it hard to focus on answering this question because I am so distracted by its implications. If there were somebody out there actually offering this deal, and they did it often enough that the 1-in-10 chance happened and someone died trying to win money, could the person offering the deal be criminally prosecuted? Under which laws? I'm seriously curious about that, now...

Yeah, you'd certainly have to wonder about the sicko who offered you the deal!
I wouldn't do it. I don't feel lucky!

Part of me wants to do it because we have a lot of financial issues right now and having that would clear up dept. It is also a low risk that I wouldn't shoot myself.
but I don't think I would do it. If I died it would be really bad for my husband and cause more problems then what the money is worth.
