The puzzle box
30 July 2009Okay imagine the scene. You find yourself in a room with a box. A sinister voice says “open the box”. Inside you see a biscuit. The voice says “If you eat this, then a random stranger will die” Do you eat the biscuit?It would be hard not to, I suppose. Unless it was a pink wafer(which I would just nibble and let the stranger be maimed for life). But if it was a Rocky Robin, I’d scoff it and say “mm..any more people you want dead?”
Now spookily,’What Biscuit’ magazine tested the new Euroshopper chocolate bars, great value at 44p. At my local shop, these very bars are kept in a box. Makes you think.
