Let's see you are one of one-hundred and two people kidnapped by a giant invincible marshmallow. (No, you can't just eat it. Stop cheating.) You are divided into three groups. One-hundred convicted serial killers, you, and a newborn baby. You are informed that only one group will be allowed to leave. The others will die. For it's own inscrutable reasons, the giant marshmallow gives you the decision.

What do you do?

Goodbye serial killers! I'll say "Hi" to your mom kid. I live. :D

Assuming I'd have been happy with my life and have made my peace with God, I'd let the baby go...but I'd ask that the Marshmallow kill the serial killers first for one reason: I don't want them the satisfaction of watching me die.

me

Me.

It does no good to let the baby go, where can a newborn go? how will it survive?

it potentially does a bit of harm to let the serial killers go

it does not harm me directly or have as high of a potential risk to let me go

so me, for purely unselfish reasons. ;)

Fuck everyone else. The baby was probably unwanted anyway.

Well, to make it less easy...

The baby will be returned safely to it's parents, and lead a long and full life.

Besides, the baby couldn't have had that good of parents if they let him get kidnapped by a giant marshmallow.........unless of course I was babysitting the child and let it happen........then me again.......:p

I'm still not suicidal. I choose life.

Why even complicate things with serial killers? This is basically a choice between your life or a newborn baby's.

You've got to let the serial killers live, even if it means sacrificing yourself. Serial killers are one of the few natural predators that feed on humans. They help thin the herds and provide valuable entertainment in the process.

Yeah, but you'd die. And that's

It depends what you'd rather unleash upon society: A newborn baby, or 100 convicted serial killers.

I'd smoke some weed and start eating.

Yes, you do sacrifice yourself, but how many people can say they were killed by a giant invincible marshmallow? Come to think of it, how many people can honestly say that they were killed at all?

That Marshmallow Man ain't invincible, I say! *whirring energizing sound*

To stay on topic - sorry for the baby. Maybe Mr. "Stay Puft" ain't hungry anymore after he had his cereals?

Jesus ;)

Jesus ;)
Yeah, but even he can't claim to have met his demise at the hands of a giant marshmallow.

one question... is the newborn's parents/family/anyone outside?

if so, then the newborn. if the baby is gonna be left all alone, isolated for several hours/days... probably me, but I would try to sneak the baby out.

Can we eat the baby, get out, then regurgitate to safety?

I'd probably go insane and drool on myself. What the fuck am I doing in a Giant Talking Marshmallow? The world has become too much to bear...

Here's your baby back. It's fine, a little chewed up and digested, but nothing a tube of crazy glue won't fix.

No, no, you're not in the Giant Talking Marshmallow, you've been kidnapped by one.

Me. Screw the rest.

You're gonna hafta cross the streams on this one! :D

What's blue and lives in a marshmellow? - a dead baby in a marshmellow! :eek:


well..... the dead baby jokes had to start somewhere :rolleyes:

Anyhow - everyone else dies, I live so I can get to the end of the new Hitman game.

Take the kid, find the door, and invite Mr Marshmellow to meet Mr Proton Pack.

You're gonna hafta cross the streams on this one! :D
I know! I'm desperately wainting for the others to show up!!!

Jesus can claim anything and I would believe it........I would have to, for it would be the divine truth....................:p

methinx you're screwed :D

Time to bail out! Baby'll probably turnout to be a serial killer anyhow! :eek:

I take out my gun and pump him fulla lead...

Or just hit him with a flamethrower and watch chemistry do its thing...

That's why I feel sorry for the baby and hope that the Marshmallow Man ain't hungry for the baby anymore after he's had 100 serial killers.

Then again, that guy's huge - and who says he's gonna eat'em and not simply squish'em?

Tell the serial killers that the marshmellow man doesn't like the voices in their heads.

iWin.

I'd choose me to leave, let him destroy the serial killers, then return with a camp fire, some boy scouts, and a really big stick. Then I'd melt him and rescue the kid and I'd be a hero ;)

What part of invincible did you miss?

And do you normally carry a flamethrower with you?

I'd choose me, but only after the serial killers had killed each other. When else am I going to see 100 serial killers battling it out?

You've got to let the serial killers live, even if it means sacrificing yourself. Serial killers are one of the few natural predators that feed on humans. They help thin the herds and provide valuable entertainment in the process.

Giant Marshmallow men have apparantly evolved to fill that niche at the time of the thought experiment.



BUT... Since i know how the baby's life will turn out if I pick the baby to live, what happens to me if I pick myself to live?

What part of invincible did you miss?

shhh... not so loud, I trying to convice the 100 serial killers that we can all take em... and while all 100 killers are keeping him busy, I'm cutting out with the kid... ;)

Here's your baby back. It's fine, a little chewed up and digested, but nothing a tube of crazy glue won't fix.
wait... his ear is missing... comon... cough it up...

I was very tempted to cheat anyway and eat the marshmallow, but seriously... the baby.

"Let us all go or I'll get ...the hot cocoa!"

No, no, you're not in the Giant Talking Marshmallow, you've been kidnapped by one.
My point stands.

No answer. I'd take the lessons learned in this forum and annoy the marshmallow by asking it to prove it was trustworthy.

The solution is obvious.

Tell the serial killers that the last one of them alive will be let out.

Then, once they're done, let the kid go and take down the last remaining weakened killer yourself.

*EDIT*

Ooh, one group. I thought you said one Person. Though I guess my idea still works.

Kill a bunch of serial killers, so that you can become a serial killer yourself. Get the baby to do a few killing strokes by putting a knife in the babys hand and guiding it to the jugular.

Then say you'd like all the serial killers to be let free.

Invite Marshmallow to beach. Toss him in the fire pit. Bring chocolate and graham crackers.

I voted "newborn baby," but I'm not sure. Thinking it over, the one hundred serial killers may be a better choice.

There is no such thing as invincible... and it is easy to rig up a flamethrower. (You did forget the gun...)

If not, though, I'd just eat it. Yeah, I'm a cheater. :p

EDIT: Thought of a loophole. Tell the serial killers that the marshmellow hates their head voices and tell THEM to eat MarshmellowMan... loopholes rock!
