You are playing the game of Life and are given the
chance to have the gift behind one of three doors: behind one is $50,000,000, behind
another is $100,000, and behind the third is a tiger, set to devour you. Do you choose one
of the doors or do you quit? I'd choose. I figure whatever the outcome, it was meant to
be, and heck, if it's my time to go, it's my time to go. The risk is worth it.

What the host doesn't know is I am armed
with a nice knife and quick reflexes I'll take my chances

I would probably play. I've got more chance
of coming out on top than not. Having said that, I'd probably just back out at the last
minute like the great big sissy that I am...
Shanna, 16

I'd quit. 30% chance of being eaten
alive is not worth any amount of money.

In my Game of Life, the tigers are generally
in the underbrush and money is in someone else's bank account. I can't imagine any other
game.

I go for door #1.

The weird thing is, this email said
"You are playing the game of Life. . ." as a title and then the one after it
said "You've never played a game like this. .." I open a door hoping it's the
tiger because I like critters. And if the tiger would actually eat me (ew, human), that
would probably meand they'd been mistreating him, so I'd want to get him out of there.
Somehow.

is this for real? the 50 mil, duh

Is it greedy to say door number 1?
50,000,000 is a lot of money and I could do so
much good with that! I'm no where near ready to give up the game of LIFE!!

It probably depends on the day.

I submitted this question and when I submit,
I almost NEVER have an answer. This is no exception. But now that I think of it, my answer
would have to be that I'd quit. I love life too much to take even the remotest chance that
I might lose it.

:::shrug::: I don't know. I couldn't say
unless I was in that situation. Right now, I'd say that money isn't THAT important
to me--which is true, considering that I rarely use money unless I have to--but then again
it depends on what was happening in my life at the time. But I probably would just quit.
Johanna, 18

I know my kind of luck; the tiger would get
me. I'd bow out. I don't take many risks at this point in my lifetime.
Fisch, 45

I quit, its not worth the chance of
death merely to inherit riches.
Talia, 23

Wow, really long question. I always thought
Life was the game with the little cars and the little pegs etc.and the game you're
describing sounds like Let's Make A Deal or whatever that TV game show was where people
wore funny costumes. But in any case, I'd quit.

I'd make sure my loaded gun was in my
pocked, and pick one of the doors---hopefully the one w/the most money. I've got a college
education to pay for.
Anjel, 20
i would quit. my life is worth more than
money...chances are i would've gotten the money, but i'd quit just to be safe. being
attacked by a tiger isn't worth $50,000,000!!!
Mandi, 16

USA
I go for it. That is a lot of cash to walk
away from and I hear vegetarians aren't very tasty to eat so the tiger would probably walk
away in disgust anyway.
Maggie, 20
Sandwich, IL
USA
I would probably take a chance with
the money. I could really use a few grand. That much money could make a girl forget about
a man-eating tiger!
Jennifer, 19
Wilkes-Barre, PA USA
No, I'd quit, I'm a wussie. Really, I guess
in my life I'll have the chance to get as fas as I deserve just by what I am doing. I
don't think I need to take such a risk/chance to do that. And I don't want to be rich in
my life, just always have enough money - and that's a big difference.
Holger, 21

--the game of life? if you quit does that
mean that you are dead anyway? if it is just a game then i'd choose, if it wasn't the same
answer.
Maria
I would definitely quit. I am not a greedy
person and wouldn't risk being eaten alive for the "chance" for money. Not worth
it.
Cathy, 26
Mandan, ND
USA
I pick a door.
Deb
I'd choose one of the doors, but not
before listening closely to see which one might be the
tiger. The chances are better that I'd get the money than the tiger, I would hate to pass
up the opportunity for that much money.
Dianne, 16
Oshawa, Ontario CANADA
I quit!!
Melodi, 19

I would pick a door. Life is similar to
those doors but of course you have more choices. If it was time for that tiger to get a
free meal, good for the tiger.
Stephanie, 25
TX USA
I would choose one of the doors, why not?
After all, I am going to croak eventually, that would be a pretty cool way to croak.
Besides, I like Tigers, I think they reek of awesomenes, and I would not blame them for
eating me.

I quit. Money isn't THAT important.
