I refuse that i let my mimd be conditioned to think the way you want me to think.

Cause under this kind of circumstance, I'll hit the blue button and hope that others are sensible as well. Then if it didnt go the way i thought, then I'll accept that its whats meant to be.

There’s a question trending online right now, and at first glance it looks simple… but the more you think about it, the more uncomfortable it gets.

Imagine this:


Blue Button:
If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives..


Red Button:
If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive.


Which will you pick?

Situation 1 - Blue Button: If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives.... With > 50%, EVERYONE survives

Situation 2 - Red Button: If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive.

This is a very simple situation. You just need to keep calm and make the right decision. What is the right decision?

Pressing the RED button is the right decision. It's the only button that guarantees your survival. How?

When you press the red button, there are 2 things involved ---

1. More than 50% also pressed the red button, in that case, it means less than 50% pressed the blue button, so you'll survive because of situation 2.
2. Less than 50% pressed the red button, in this case, it means that more than 50% pressed the blue button, so you'll also survive because of situation 1, which says that If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives.

So PRESSING THE RED BUTTON guarantees your survival!!! wink
sound mind

If BLUE is more than 50%
BLUE Survive ✅ cheesy
RED Survive ✅ cheesy

If BLUE is less than 50%
BLUE Die ✖️ embarassed
RED Survive ✅ cheesy

Either way, RED survives. So RED is the only option that guarantees you staying alive.

Since there is no guarantee that BLUE will be more than 50%, only a F00L🤡 will gamble with his life by pressing BLUE.
nothing but the truth

Yeah, unless there's a condition that the last person to press the bell will have no option to choose other than the colour with fewer frequency
Any conditions at all would have made it less dumb. But this one no conditions whatsoever - if everyone presses same botton everyone survives, that's all!

😂 😂 😂 😂 bro pressing the red button is the right thing to do
I absolutely agree with you, if more than 50% press the blue button, everyone will survive, if less than 50% press the blue button, all those that pressed the blue button will doe and the ones that pressed the red button will all survive.

Red is a very emotionally and intense color
It enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate and raises blood pressure.
It has a very high visibility, which is why stop signs, Stop lights, and fire equipments are usually painted red.

More than 50% will press the RED button.

I will press RED too. But I prefer the button that ends the world.
Kendrick — Murder on the beat!

Press Blue.
Do your part and leave the rest.

Will verybody be self centered to press Red or hope for the greater good of all by pressing Blue...?

Read the puzzle again. There is simply no risk with pressing RED, so that's the wise option.
I see it as a way far more than being alive. RED still remains the safest bet though.

In Nigeria, almost everyone will go for the red button.
In The West almost everyone will go for the blue button.

One has a strong for self satisfaction and consumption even at the expense of others.


The other has a strong sense of obligation and responsibility that whatever becomes of his environment or community is based on his input and decisions.


This is the difference between Africans and Americans.

Were you told what happens when more than 50% of people press the RED button?

See, everyone will just die cos everyone will press the Blue button thinking they were the only one who pressed the Red.

Heffalump:
You ain't getting it. If the number passes 50% that presses Blue you're safe even if you pressed Red, except fewer than that will help those that pressed the Red button alone. Suffice to say that the Red button is basically selfish, only those that pressed it are saved.

It's a nonsense poll.
red is for people who are thinking straight. blue is for emotional people. it is just a brain test that indicates some people are not logical in their thinking. funny enough, more than 60% of people who voted on nairaland chose blue. it tells a lot

Thank you o, I didn't even spend more than 2 seconds to know it's Red button

Those analysing are just over thinking it, I am shocked this is going viral online, people just over thinking undecided
Re: Viral Blue Vs Red Button Question Is Dividing The Internet. What Will You Choose by shumuel(m): 7:29pm On May 01
GanagiBitrus:
Are you for real. huh

RED =Your life is guaranteed
BLUE =Your life is not guaranteed, depending on if more than 50% press BLUE.

Many people who opted for BLUE just rushed to comment without understanding the puzzle.

Self-survival is basic human instinct, &that's what RED guarantees.
So, the Sensible thing is for them all to press RED & all their lives will be guaranteed.

Anyone who understands this but chooses to gamble his life away by pressing BLUE is a capital F00L🤡
You are also over thinking it, as long as you Press Red you are safe, Guaranteed

So if the rest all press Blue, then there would be more than 50% which means everyone survived

If everyone Press Red, all still survived

The RED button is the Atheist's Choice!

The probability is high that you will ALSO lose 50% of those close to you.

Your Parents
Your Spouse
Your Siblings
Your Friends
Your Relatives etc.


What is life without them?

Then ONLY selfish people will remain in your World as all CONSIDERATE people (who pressed the Blue button are not in this World)

Good luck to you!
Lol, you sound very funny... Most of those people you listed are very close to me and they are not dumb to pick without logically analyzing it, I won't be proud of anyone that picks nonsense. You can control your actions, but you can't control that of others. Even if you press blue, it doesn't guarantee saving your family. Now, you pressed blue but your family has more wisdom and they pressed red, now you're the one no more, while your family wonders how they never knew their son is so dull cry (literally, not insulting you). Additionally, LOGIC is far greater than EMOTION in ANY Survival Situation, just so you know.

In a real sense, over 50% will press blue because red signify danger. Psychologically, they will press blue

You make a great assumption

That, All your family, friends, loved ones and relatives will choose your kind of answer.
The challenge never said that you will have opportunities to speak with them to be on the same page.

Secondly, the kind of world that remains will be TERRIBLE. Only Dog-Eat-Dog kind of people will be the MAJORITY of those who would exist in the world.

The Selfish People
The Robbers
The Kidnappers
The Rapists
The Ritualists
The Violent
The Atheists
And all who do NOT believe in the common good of ALL.


Sorry:
Even those who press the RED button will eventually DIE!
Re: Viral Blue Vs Red Button Question Is Dividing The Internet. What Will You Choose by Cheryphb: 9:55pm On May 01
If everyone understand the logic behind the question, RED button is the answer. Pressing it guarantee your survival and if everyone understand this, we will all survive. But unfortunately most people will fail in logic as we don't try to understand questions before attempting to answer

Only f00ls will press Blue. If you lose your life due to foolishness, na you sabi.
That does not answer my question. You take pride from being what you think others are
of what benefit will it be to you if only you survive?

When you press the red button, there are 2 things involved ---

2. Less than 50% pressed the red button, in this case, it means that more than 50% pressed the blue button, so you'll also survive because of situation 1, which says that If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives.

So PRESSING THE RED BUTTON guarantees your survival!!! wink
If everyone else or the majority thinks like you then you all die. Because once more than 50% presses red, all will die.

There are no guarantees here. Think well
