Train
There's a runaway train heading down a track.

You could pull a lever and change the direction of the train, only there's a worker on the other track.
What do you do?
Camera
Imagine you're a photojournalist on assignment.
You're in a war zone, placed in a security detail.
Suddenly, the situation changes for the worse.
What do you do?
Traffic
You're stuck in traffic again. Another driver is trying to edge into the carriageway.
No one's letting him in and now he's looking mad at you.
You don't know this driver and you're never likely to see him again- and you're running late.
Do you let him in, or don't you?
Hospital
You're the only doctor on duty in a rural hospital miles from anywhere.
So far, the night has been uneventful, but surprises are always just around the corner.
Who do you save?
WARNING: Fake blood in video. You do not have to do this one if you do not want to.
Office
Imagine you have to hire someone and you have to choose between two applicants.
Both are equally qualified, only one of the applicants is your wife's best friend and she needs a job.
Who do you employ?
Your first instinct might be to employ your wife's best friend...
Football
Sport: It's a metaphor for life.
You win some, you lose some.
But what's more important?
Victory at any cost?
Or how you play the game?
