The bigger question is: why are they on the track lane in the first place?

In Thought Experiment Land... Oh no, not again! I have to throw this switch to minimize the number of deaths caused by that trolley. What a horrible dilemma! I can just stop until you clear the tracks Of course thatť's what I want! if you want. It's just that you guys keep putting people on the track so I thought you were into it. Just so we're clear, that's always been an option. 99 madeofmistake.com

The Voter's Trolley Problem

A trolley is barreling down the tracks toward a three-way railroad switch. The switch is currently set to the middle track, to which a person has been tied. If nothing is done, this person will die, and the trolley will be diverted from its proper path, delaying its arrival. Switching to the right track* will put the trolley back on its proper path, but the right track also has five people tied to it instead of one. Switching to the left track will insure that nobody dies, at the cost of further delaying the trolley's arrival.** While you can't move the switch yourself, you can enable someone else to do so. The donkey promises to switch to the left track, but may not be strong enough to budge the switch. The elephant seems significantly stronger than the donkey, but will almost certainly switch to the right track and violently resist any attempts to switch away from it. Who will you choose to man the switch? *From the perspective of the person manning the switch. * **Regardless of what track is picked, the trolley will most likely reach its destination safely. Even if it doesn't, the trolley and everything on it are insured. The people tied to the track are not.

Will you refuse to participate, or will you show me your dance of death?

Every step you successfully complete will kill one person, however failing to complete a step kills 3 other people. Will you: not participate and let 3x as many people die? Or will you SHOW ME YOUR DANCE OF DEATH? 1000 0000

Trolley Problem Complex Plane

You are the conductor of a trolley in the complex plane, surrounded on all sides by people, stretching out to infinity. The trolley will start at 0 and move iteratively, its next position calculated as f(z) = z^2 + C, where z is its current position. c is arbitrary. You may set it to any complex number, but cannot change it once the trolley starts moving. For what values of c will the death toll not be infinite?
