Is there any need to be an utter arsehole? Shame on you.

What goes around...
I have no idea what you are on about. But if you want to carry on like the adolescent (or adolescent behaving) idiots who just want to be rude to everyone, then be my guest, but do it with other such people.

Hit a sore spot did I? I'm so sorry, let me rub that better for you.
I see you like rubbing other men also.

You are in a gameshow where you have a box. The box contains one of the following amounts:

$10
$50
$1,000
$5,000
$250,000

You can either open your box and collect the money, or "sell" the box.

What is the minimum amount you would accept for your box?
$40,000

A principal thought in my mind when asking the question is how much the spread of possible results effects your choice. Is the mean a better quantifier, or the median, if so, when? e.g. if the median was higher than the mean, would you want a higher amount.

Say the options were:

$1
$7,000
$8,000
$9,000
$10,000
$7000

Good point, the average isn't even that high... maybe $6500 would be better.

Yes.

I don't really get this game. What's the most someone will offer me for the box? It doesn't matter what I'll sell it for if no-one would offer me that. Isn't it market pressures which determine what my offer will be and therefore what I can get for it?


My "I'll take that" would be somewhere between 40 and 50k I think.

An interesting thought on this is what happens if you turn it on it's head, what would you offer for one of those 5 boxes? I wouldn't offer 40k that I do have for a chance to win 250k but I probably would risk 40k that I don't currently have, but could earn guaranteed, for a chance of winning 250k.
