The following scenario is something that happened in real life in Russia recently:

Suppose you are an inmate in a Russian prison. A high-ranking official shows up and announces that all prisoners who fight in Ukraine as conscripts for 6 months will be granted their freedom and a full pardon. Assuming this offer can be taken at its word, how many years would there have to be remaining in your sentence for you to agree to go fight?

Did you know this thread now has a companion thread for discussion:

Several armed militia men from your neighboring state/region come to your house. They show you a ballot where you can vote whether you want your state/region to be annexed by the neighboring state/region. The militia men make a show of their weaponry, and tell you that you must mark this ballot – yea or nay – while they stand there watching you vote. How do you mark the ballot?
