You are presented with two plates with chocolate on them

[her209]

You're told that it really is chocolate, i.e., you're not being tricked, but you can only pick one piece. You see that one plate has about half as much as the other plate.

Which plate do you pick from and why?

 

[nageov3t]

the smaller plate, I'm not hugely into chocolate.

 

[Mike Gayner]

Does it matter? Is there any indication that there's anything different between the chocolate on the two plates?

 

[Brigandier]

I take the one with roofies in it.

 

[Cogman]

Who makes the chocolate? Do I have to eat it all? Can I save it for later? How much chocolate are we talking about? What is the socio-economic situation of the person giving the chocolate? Am I starving or full? What happens to the other plate of chocolate? Do I trust and know the person giving me the chocolate?

All these questions and more would come up. In short, it depends, there is not enough information.

 

[KaOTiK]

what kind of chocolate is on each plate

 

[Brigandier]

what kind of chocolate is on each plate

Plant chocolate and animal chocolate.

Only what you can see... so if the chocolates are differently shaped, then yes.

 

[her209]

Rest assure, there are no roofies in these chocolates.

 

[Brigandier]

Rest assure, there are no roofies in these chocolates.

Damn, I thought this was going to be fun.

 

[Nox51]

The bigger question here is which one has bacon in it?

Then can I make a decision.

I tried chocolate dipped bacon at a fair and it tasted horrible. Maybe they just had crappy chocolate on it but it didn't taste good at all.

 

[RocksteadyDotNet]

Are we supposed to answer; the plate with less on it, because that's more popular, so must be better? Or some shit like that?

That doesn't really affect it however, as there are no repeat visits, so the quality has no affect on the amount taken.

 

[Nox51]

I think they got the bacon to chocolate ratio wrong then.

 

[mmntech]

Is this some sort of psychological test? Basic human nature would direct us to take the plate with more.

sounds like my experience with deep-fried twinkies.

 

[IronWing]

Since I can have only one piece regardless of plate selected, if the pieces are the same size then it matters not which plate I select. Therefore I select the plate on the right as I am left handed and in reaching across I may happen to knock the left plate on the floor and ground scores don't count against my limit.

 

[nonameo]

I'd punch you in the face and take both.

 

[MAKENITO]

Probably this

 

[Kaervak]

I'll take whichever one has more LSD in it.

I've had deep fried oreos that were really good, albeit heart-attack-inducing

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

First you impale a donut on a stick, cover it with maple icing and, roll it in crumbled bacon. That is a Heart Attack on a Stick.

 

[nanette1985]

The one closest to me.

Is this a proxy for the toilet paper roll question? There are two rolls on the wall of the stall. Do you draw from the bigger roll or the smaller roll?

much better question. i always use the bigger roll as it it's had less people touching it with their shitty fingers.
