You are the decision maker. You have two train lines. One
line is used by trains often. And the other one is used by
only one train aday at morning.
In midday, 5 children went to play with balls. They went to
play on these two lines. 4 Children choose to play on the
second line (often a busy line of trains) and only one (the
youngest one) choose to play on the deserted line
At a certain time a train (that can never be stopped came on
the second line). You can switch to go on deserted line.
Anyhow, if you are the decision maker, will you choose first
or second line? and Why? (Children/child on chosen line will
be killed by the train, there is no escape)

Answer / aboelella
It is midday, so the morning train passed on the first line.
The busy line is always used trains. So the youngest child
chose the correct place to play. If train switched to his
line, this means he will be killed although he did make the
right decision. The train should continue in its second
line. Even it is switched, the coming trains can't all be
switched to go on the false line.
Solving one's fault shouldn't affect people who didn't make
any fault

Answer / salma
I'll obvioulsly let the train to go on its own way. i.e.,
second line.
Though there is possibility of saving 4 lives, I shouldn't
make the decision of harming the correct one as he has
chosen the right path.
Some of the answers above shows that they want the people
to survive though they have done a mistake, but to kill the
innocent one. They should understand that the person who
done his job correctly can never equal to not only 4 but 4
lakhs and crores.
The culprit can escape but the innocent shouldn't punish

Answer / ashok kannan
The four children may know about the train and they may
run when they hear sound.But the child may sure about the
train won't come. so,it do not run even it hears the
sound.so,by analysing the probability I set the train on
the first track.
If it is done all are saved or the right one will be
saved.

Answer / srinath...
The thing is... there is a reason the deserted line is
DESERTED after morning.. it must be under construction ot
something.. SO,. if u choose the deserted line you are not
only being immoral to the wise kid but you also risk the
lives of all the people on the train (train might lead to a
bigger accident up ahead!!). so the train must move in the
line on which originally was making it safer for the people
on the train too..

Answer / xxx
Train can be switched where 4 children are playing since they were aware of trains and they will be noticing it and they can switch to the track where that 1 child is playing .If it happens wiseversa then that 1 child will be not aware of the train and he will be died.By following the first we can save 5 children

Answer / shashi
As a decision maker, I'll switch to deserted line.
That way only one kid is killed and rest 4 are saved. I do
not agree with the above answer, as playing on Railway line
is not a good idea by any chance.
Other four after watching this incidence will never ever
plan to play on railway track.
It is all about setting example by sacrificing one and
saving rest four. Besides this they will spread the message
and save many more.

Answer / rupaun barua
All are children so there is no question of innocence.For
reducing the suffering of the parents and relatives of the
children I will choose to save 4 children instead of one
child.
This will be more humane because when the parent of the
little child heared that their child has been died to save
four children then they also appreciate the decision if
they are human in real sense.
