Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
A trolley is running out of control down a track!. In its path are 5 people who have been tied to the track by a mad philosopher!. Fortunately, you can flip a switch which will lead the trolley down a different track to safety!. Unfortunately, there is a single person tied to that track!. Should you flip the switch!?


As before, a trolley is hurtling down a track towards five people!. As in the first case, you can divert it onto a separate track!. On this track is a single person!. However, beyond that person, this track loops back onto the main line towards the five, and if it weren't for the presence of that person, who will stop the trolley, flipping the switch would not save the five!. Should you flip the switch!?

A fat man is leading a group of people out of a cave when he gets hopelessly stuck in the opening!. There is a rising tide that will cause everyone inside the cave to drown unless they can get out!.
