Take this character test. How fair are you?

[Ahtong]

There is $20 million to be shared between 2 persons.

 

Person A decides how to share the money.

 

Person B decides whether or not to accept the proposed ratio.

 

If Person B accepts the ratio, both parties get the money. If Person B don't accept, nobody gets anything.

 

1) If you are person A, how would you split the $20 million?

 

2) If you are person B, will you accept if A offers you $1 million and keeps $19 million for himself?

 

 

[Mustank]

A: 10/10

 

B: yes

1) If i am A i would split 50:50

2) This is a tricky one, 1 million dollar is a lot of money to me now, i probably would take A offer. there is oso a possibility of wan to die die together

[Circuit]

no info no explaination how to advice..

 

the money from where... hard work from single side or both side?? or inherit? or

 

no details how to justify is good or no good.

 

 

[Freestylers09]

depends where the $ come from..if A earn it or given to A from others..of coz he deserve more..

 

 

[Ah_cow]

1) 10m each

2) no, rather die together also dun wan kanna eat like tt

[Tunge]

a) split 50:50

 

b) no. since u didn't mention that A can make a counter/improved offer. but if only got 1 chance, i'll sy "yes" assuming there must be a reason why A has the right to decide how the money is split, maybe he is the leader or he found the money, etc

[The_Bear]

1. 19million for myself

2. No

[Vextan]

10/10

yes

[Rickster]

Assuming that the 20 million happens to be dropped from the sky...

 

I'd accept it even if the other party offers me $100K

 

But if that 20 million is something that both myself & the other party worked equally hard for, I'd not accept anything less than 50:50

[Ahtong]

Basically question 1 tests how fair you are and question 2 tests your backbone vs practicality.

 

1) I would split the money 50:50

2) I am willing to accept if the offer is around 2:1 or better. If it is 19:1, I will sure ask the greedy busturd to fly kite. He got more to lose than me.

[Vextan]

this kind of scenario question will probably never happen to anyone . i think ahtong think of money too much liao.

1) 12 Million for B, 8 Million for myself (60/40 split, since he has the decision to deny both of us of money)

 

2) no.

Definitely a 50%-50% share.

 

I would accept if person A is giving mi out of good will.

If the money belong to mi too...die die i wan a 50% share.

[Ahtong]

Hypothetical question only lah.

 

In economics, there is something known as game theory and it is full of these interesting scenarios.

[Tonyhawk]

1. 50/50.

2. Tough one. probably no.

 

Out of curiosity, to those who said "No" to the 2nd question what if it were 1 billion vs 19 billion? I know my answer will change to yes. :)

[TandemAssassin]

this reminds me so much of prisoner's dilemma and game theory.

 

if I am person A, I will offer 1-2million if B is an average or poor person; but offer as much as needed to incentivise cooperation if B is super wealthy and already has millions to his name. of course, the critical thing is to act like I don't need the money as well, so that the pressure is on B (maybe I can dress as a monk? just not you-know-who)

 

if I am person B, before A make the offer, I will tell him that I will reject any offer less than $19 million and act super greedy (maybe not much acting involved here). then the pressure will be on A to decide if he wants to gamble with the $1 million.

[Freestylers09]

if so..i take 19.5m, A take 500k since i am the decider..for qn B..keke

 

if A,i split 10/90 for B since B make the call for qn A..
