How do you leave a party?

Assume you wanted to attend, and you know the host and a decent number of other guests, at least.
  • Big announcement, big hand wave, I’m out.
  • I spend 20-40 minutes personally saying goodnight to the host and everyone I know.
  • I strategically tag along when someone else makes a “big out.”
  • I just slip out when I feel like leaving. Maybe I address the host and/or a close friend or two on my way out.
  • I just stay until I’m asked to leave.
  • Depends on the party.
  • I tend not to attend parties, even if I know almost everyone.
  • Something else?

You are in a ship with other passengers, when suddenly some calamity befalls the ship and you all go into the water. It is warm water, so there’s no risk of hypothermia (at least for now), but you have no lifejacket and you must swim to land, which is 1 mile away.

  • I can do it, no problem
  • Tough, but still doable. Would be dicey
  • I’m screwed

A sports team installs an AI system in their home stadium that analyzes its opponents and announces its opponent’s likeliest play…right before they run the play. (For instance, if it is likely, based off of data, that this opponent will run a screen pass to the left, the big video Jumbotron AI display in the stadium then announces: “SCREEN PASS TO THE LEFT” for all players and fans to see - the idea being to unnerve the opposing team if that was indeed the play they were intending to run.)

  • If it works, it works - fair play
  • No, this is unsportsmanlike and ruins the game

Note that I’m not asking whether you can speak or understand any language written in these systems. It’s enough that if you see, for example, the Greek word διαφυλάξτε, you could say that it would be written or spoken something like diafylaxte in English, even if you don’t know what that word means.

You are the United States + South Korea + broader international community, or the United Nations.

The North Korean dictator meets for denuclearization talks and says it is vital for domestic PR purposes for the North Korean populace to believe that its government continues to possess a nuclear arsenal, since nukes are a matter of great pride. At the same time, he knows the West will never invade North Korea, so the nukes are not actually needed for military purposes. The international community wants North Korea to get rid of its nukes, and North Korea is in dire need of food, money, technology, medicines, as always.

The dictator’s proposal is that North Korea will conduct many nuclear “tests” (that are in fact North Korea getting rid of its arsenal by detonating its nukes, one by one, deep underground.) The West and the UN will be allowed to have many inspectors to verify that North Korea’s nuclear arsenal is indeed dwindling and eventually eliminated, this way. At the same time, the constant “testing” of nukes will give the North Korean population the impression that the regime is not only continuing to develop nukes, but in fact growing in nuclear capabilities. (Each detonation underground causes a mild earth tremor/quake, which can be felt.) In return, the international community will give North Korea vast amounts of food and other forms of support.
