Fun question

[sweeps]

Ok, you're a contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. You've won $8,000 and Meredith Vieira asks you the $16,000 question. You have no idea what the answer is. You use your last lifeline, the 50/50, which leaves you with a pure guess between 2 answers.

If you go for it and get it right, you have $16,000 and the chance to move on to even higher winnings. If you get it wrong, you leave with $1,000. Or you can walk away with the $8,000 (and perhaps never get such an opportunity again)...

What would you do?

Re: Fun question

I'd go for it, neither the $8K or the 16K will make you rich, so you really don't have much to lose. If you get it right, you can go for hte $32K question, and hopefully if you can answer that, you'll take home a decent amount of change.

Re: Fun question

I would walk away proudly with $8k USD, give the IRS it's cut ,then smile all the way to my Emigrant Direct account.

Re: Fun question

I would walk around with the $8k. I am not much of a gambler.

Re: Fun question

I'd have a go for it. I suspect if you gave most people a 50/50 chance to win that money they would take it, especially as you still win some money even if you get it wrong.

Re: Fun question

I'd walk away with the sure $8000.

Re: Fun question

I really don't know... would depend on my confidence level that day lol. Though probably just walk away with the $8000.
