I'll take the $50.000
share1. One time payment of $50,000
share$50,000 is a lot more tangible than any of those other options. Where's my check?
share$50K👍
Always take the money!
If option 4 doesn't have to be a person and can be a pet, I'd spend 1 hour with an old pet. If it has to be a person, I'd take the money.
shareWow, that's a great question.
1. One time payment of $50,000 - Make it a million and this is my choice. But 50 thou is not enough. Many Americans earn more than that in a year of work.
2. One question about the universe answered - This is my first choice. One thing I hate is the thought of dying and never knowing why?
3. An IQ of 180 - Nah. I'm smart enough. And I've learned that street smarts are more important than IQ.
4. You can have a 1 hour long conversation with any dead person brought back to life - This is tempting. I'd give anything to talk to my mom or dad again. But it would be like disturbing them I guess.
IQ is inherent. Street smarts, like any other form of education, is acquired. How is acquired superior to that which is built in?
shareIt's practical survival skills. You can be a genius and be clobbered over the back of the head by some thug on Main Street. With street smarts you learn how to watch your own back.
It's also not always "streets" where you need that kinda smarts. It works in the office as well.
R KANE CAN LEARN TO BE STREET SMART...HE CAN'T LEARN TO ACTUALLY BE SMART THOUGH.
