Therocial quizz question - Page 3

as long as the value you offer him is greater than 0, then he/she should accept.

However, adding a weighted value based on person; e.g. person is filthy rich, reborn christian, Haitian.. etc.
Then they might be weighted to donate to charity, unless it their portion was > 50% because they might feel you are being generous and then they can donate the money - the majority of it - to a charity of their choosing.

Kind of a cool concept for the 2nd half could be... but really impossible to judge.
so anything > 0

Meal's would be all caps, title and content

I'd probably offer like 20% or so if it's about that kind of money. I don't think many people will spite refuse 10k anyway and if they do I only lose´maybe 30kish (50k - "whatever they would've accepted" which is obviously a lot, but if it gives 50k to charity (a decent one) I'll just stop giving to charities and I'll probably "won" it back in 20 years or so, Less if I otherwise would've given a lot of money to something someday.

If I were at a strip club I'd offer 1k but I'd put the 1k in singles in his hand before he made his choice.

I think a better question for this community is what amount do you all turn down?

I think the charity plays a decent role in deciding for some people. Knowing the 50k goes to charity then turns it into a question of how much money of the 50k is it worth it to you to job the charity of the total 50k? If offered 5k, basically you're posed with the question of would you really NOT donate 5k to charity if they will match your donation 9x.

therocious!

i think i would offer 8K
that ammount is too high for majority of people to spit refuse

if you offer something like 4K i could imagine some fat chick jumping around asking the crowd what to do, and the crowd going "CHARITY CHARITY CHARITY" and doing it just cuz shes on TV

Just a random american male or female. You don't see him, and he don't see you either. You cannot talk to him. You have to decide how much of the prize you offer to him. Then the second contestant will get the following offer: "Your opponement has offered you X$ out of the 50000$, and he will keep the rest. do you accept the offer? if you refuse, everything will go to charity and you will both get nothing" If your opponement refuse, all of the money will go to charity and you will both get NOTHING. If you offer him too little, he might just go "fuck off asshole, this is going to charity, i don't care about the little ammount of money you offered me". Keep in mind the contestant knows hes on TV, and by refusing, he will look like an hero on Tv which is nice. But if you offer him too much, you might miss out on serious EV. Of course if your lucky, you might get a contestant who will accept any ammount of money because he is poor. So the question is: What is the optimal ammount of money to offer to the other person? Note: do not answer what you would do, only answer the OPTIMAL, a ammount a selfish person should be offering, someone who doesnt care about charity or the other contestant.

misleading. Ur a fucking donk if ur presenting it in this way. This is a well known study and people's level of poverty doesn't change their answer was one of the surprises. Don't gear this shit in this direction with ur wording. + i'm sure 80%+ of the people on the site are familiar with this study

in the original study its not surprising the level of poverty doesnt matter since the ammount is 50$ and there is no charity involved
i doubt it would be the same result if it was 50K instead of 50$
when you have kids to feed, 10K$ is more important to you than revenge against an unknown....

wait... i don't follow this forum much, but how in the hell floofy didn't die out of virginness

last time i read the floofy thread all websites refused to sell him a flesh light

this seems preety ridicilous, its a 100% freeroll, if you walk out of there with $500 its free money, why on earth would you refuse it

on that note, i'd offer then 15k
aint no one gonna refuse 15k freeroll

eh on 2nd thought money is different in the real world then the poker world.

I dont see why anyone would refuse 5k, but the problem with offering 5k is that some random asshole might refuse, people are stupid - i think i stick with my 15k, its a ridicilous amount of money to refuse

You are playing it super safe Tom.
if I got offered 100$ I'd think this guy is fcking awesome and take the 100$.
I might even accept 0$ if I got offered 0$.
But I get offered 500$ fuck you, 500$ I wipe my ass with fucking just give 50k to charity, that's a lifetime of charity or 500$. If I was making 30k a year or 100$ a day, probably accept 500$.

If u offered me 15k Tom and there was a charity where I cud go around with 50k and give bottles of liqour to the homeless, 50k-gas.
fuck ur 15k. I'm donating to that charity.
its really good for the soul to spread that much happiness.

People give hundreds of billions of dollars to charity every year.

HUNDREDS of BILLIONS

You better be sure the person you're offering really needs the money and can turn down a ten fold increase on a donation to charity and look like a saint on t.v.

Wow the responses abusing the OP are kind of hilarious.

$10,000 seems like a good, safe amount.

We did something like this in a high school class of mine as a little experiment. Except the total was just $100. People were offering $1 and reasoning "Well you still come out ahead." And I was like "yea but fucking you over for being an asshole is worth much more than that." Just didn't phrase it quite that way. Also, the money didn't go to charity or anything in our scenario so there wasn't that factor.

I think I'd need a minimum of $20 out of the $100 to accept.

If I had a read the other contestant was a poker player I'd over $1. But since it's a random male or female, I'd offer either $10,000, or $25,000.

I think the charity or no money makes a difference as well. If noone gets the money it's a waste declining. When offered 1k I'd prefer 50k to go to a charity. Spite doesn't seem like too much of a good reason when you don't know the other guy.

What if you were the one offered the money and the guy offering you it is someone you despise, just some douchebag you really hate. How much money would it take for you to accepte the offer? ;D

If you were in the other side, would you refuse 5k?
