From the film of the same name.

A box is mysteriously delivered to you, on top is a button, you have 24 hours posession before it moves to someone else.

If you press the button it provides 1 million dollars, or equivalent in your local currency...

but...

At the same time someone you dont know dies from its effects.

No, its just like murdering someone for a million dollar contract.

Id get a blister from the amount of times Id be pressing that button.

Id press the bugger

you might get lucky.. it could be someone with no arms, no legs, deaf, dumb & blind

What happens to the box once the button is pressed? Does it continue on to other people, or end there?

Is there guarantee of remaining anonymous if you press the button?

If the answers are no it stops with you and yes it is anonymous I would. If it continues on I might have to think about it. I mean, if the box stops once its pressed, someones going to press it sooner or later, might as well take the responsibility and press the button and use the money for good causes... ><

This is where I find out its some kind of test to track down people with ambiguous morals and potential murderers or something...

you can argue all you want about "using it for good causes" all you want. In the end tho its all about greed.

press the button, get the £million & blow, cos you know the next person will press it & sooner or later someones button press is your death.

More profitable than killing someone when you eat a big mac or a kitkat or whatever else the treehuggers would have you believe. Ultimate expression of capitalism? Given the choice the market would do the right thing?! or not perhaps!

Easy one for me, no I wouldnt

As much as id love a million quid I could never live with that fact that someone died beacuse of me and my greed for money.

How so?

If in the instance that the box is a one time affair and once its been done, it ceases to operate, someone WILL press it at some point. Its an unknown risk as to what they will do with the money. But you know what you will do with the money. Theres nothing greedy about pressing the button and giving all £1mil to charity.

Im not saying Id do the above, Id do something slightly different, but Id press the button, knowing full well that most people wouldnt hesitate.

Damn right Id press it.  Who cares?  £1M is £1M.  Me and my family come first.

... and if I let someone else press it... it could be me.  

yeah.... Id push it
