Your friend needs your help. They tell you two ways that you could help them, which we’ll call “Option A” and “Option B”. Option A is what your friend would prefer and would be helping them out a lot. Option B would also be helpful to them, but not as much as Option A. Option A is less convenient for you than Option B, but it isn’t difficult. Option B would be easy for you to do. Do you choose Option A (more helpful for your friend but less convenient for you) or Option B (less helpful for them but more convenient for you)?

  • Option A
  • Option B
  • I need more information

Your friend needs your help. You want to help them. There are two ways that you could help them, which we’ll call Option A and Option B. Your Friend feels Option A would be the most helpful and would like you to do that. You feel your friend is mistaken and that Option B would be substantially more helpful than Option A. Your friend is not opposed to Option B but disagrees with your opinion that it it the better option. Both options are equal in difficulty for you and your friend will accept either one. You cannot do both.

  • Option A (the one your friend thinks is better)
  • Option B (the one you think is better)
  • I need more information

All American presidents are sent to an arena to fight each other. Who wins?

  • Theodore Roosevelt (with all-around physical fitness and sheer stamina)

  • Yale wrestling champion William Howard Taft
  • Let’s not forget Gerald Ford played football, that has to count for something
  • Some president with military experience, like Grant or Eisenhower
  • Some other president
  • Calvin Coolidge, because he seems like the kind of guy who would quietly hide in the corner and wait until everyone else had finished each other off
