You’ve been sentenced to life in prison. Your lawyer has finagled you a deal where you get your choice of either a 10” black and white television with an antenna (no cable; reception is spotty, but possible), or a 2’x3’ window looking out on some woods.
If you choose the TV you will be given a standard 6’x9’x12’ single-inmate cell with no windows and a fluorescent light that you do not control.
If you choose the window your 6’x9’x12’ single-inmate cell will have no artificial light at all.
Which do you choose?

You are at a restaurant and the server brings you the wrong food. Turns out there was a miscommunication and the kitchen cooked the wrong dish. The manager and staff discuss briefly and then apologize and offer you a choice: you can either eat the wrong dish, free of charge, now, or you can have the dish that you ordered, also free.
You had ordered something that takes a long time to cook, so it’ll take 20 minutes or more to get you what you’d originally ordered, especially since the restaurant is operating at max capacity with the chefs all fully occupied.
- Eat the wrong dish for free, now
- Eat the right dish for free, in 20 minutes
