You get to flip a coin. If it is heads, your family lives long, happy, healthy and financially rewarding lives

for as long as the family line continues, but you have to die immediately. If it is tails, you get the long and happy life and their lives would be as they were prior to flipping the coin. Do you flip it?

    they're their

    Impossible scenario. Nobody lives forever no matter how many coins you flip.

    The forever means as long as the family line continues.

    Repaired as necessary. Now you can answer it if you choose.

    No.  The cost is too great either way.

      Heads. I’m just about done around here anyway. I’ve eaten all the sandwiches I need to eat, the Minnesota project is stretching out over years with no favorable end in sight yet, there are concurrent ongoing investigations covering several jurisdictions looking into the basement facilities, grammar-policing is just whack-a-mole online, knock-off sweatshops produce more tildes of low quality than my suppliers can keep up with, the Harem scheduling matrix is a complete disaster due to all the changes and the infighting over who gets me first or how much time she gets, Vegemite is starting to show up on far more US grocery store shelves, the whippersnappers have taken over whole sections of my lawn and refuse to budge, etc., etc., etc.  If it gives the rest of my family members that boost, I’m doing them more good than harm by taking the deal.

    Excellent job, but you didn't answer the question. I simply asked if you would flip it.

      You’re right, I should have included that. Yes, I’d flip it, and I’d hope it came up heads.
