I think Randall missed a trick here.. He should have had Black Hat offer to not switch the lever if Cueball was the 1 person on the other track for the price of 1 dollar. That way Cueball is put in a situation of moral contradiction: The utilitarian in him says save the 5 (sacrifice self), self interest says save yourself (thereby killing 5). --Pudder (talk) 09:24, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
