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?

Knowing my luck I'd say no.
But not having my luck, I'd say yes.
I mean getting shot in the head doesn't always kill you and the money is legit so 8u

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!

I don't think I'd do it. Money is the best when it's earnt, and the risk is just too high

Heck yeah I would do it.
If I didn't win then I would be dead and wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore. lol.

I don't think 1mil is that much money for a life, but if you add three more zeroes I might do it lol

I wouldn't ...
I live a comfortable life at the moment and 1m wouldn't get me much that I don't have already. I guess it would work towards a home but I'm not looking to commit to a home atm.
I may reconsider if there were more 0s haha

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.
