Am I also in range of the nuclear bomb, or am I safe? Unclear as the image doesn't specify if it is drawn to scale or not. Also which direction are the tracks currently pointing.

sudo rm train.sh

problem solved 👍

Quickly move the switch while on track, then hope the paths willl be wide enough to stop the trolley.

I've played enough X-COM to know that 50/50 is actually 100%, I just don't know which way. Better trigger it!!

30%? Let me deliver that shot with crit across the map to your teammate hunkered down behind full cover for you!

Wait, what does the middle track do?

It's the Republican track

Same as normal but you chose the status quo rather than having it enforced upon you.

I'll take the 50/50 because those are some damn good odds!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Now how do I get it to drift over everything but teams a and b?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It'll hit the bomb, so teams a and b will be blasted either way :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I assumed that the bomb would only kill 4.5 million people but all 8 billion are acceptable too, unless the teams a and b happen to be in the blast radius which seems unlikely. To me the area was only referencing the location of the bomb not the train.

I like those odds

There is at least one user here in the superposition of being on two tracks at once.

Well, you can take yourself out of the equation because you're not tied down and can just move after flipping the switch.

chooses bottom track

"C'mon...c'mon!"

trolley heads towards committe members

"Dammit!"

runs over and jumps on the nuclear bomb pressure pad

Let's play coin flip!

A Mark VI only has a 18 to 160 kiloton yield.

Can we replace it with a B83?
