A trolley is heading towards 4 people. If you pull the switch, it will be diverted towards 1 person. Also, if you slip the switch by pulling it after the front wheels have passed but before back wheels do, it will probably come to a complete halt before hitting anyone, but there is a 20% chance that you'll fuck up and kill all 5 people. There are exits to the east, north, west, and south.

What will you do? _

I was not expecting to see this reference today. What do I do if the trolley is conducted by an angry little dwarf with a nasty knife?

Pick it up after he throws it and throw it back!
