The money is what it is, untaxed in all one lump sum.

The warp tiles when placed down allow you and anyone making physical contact with you to instantly teleport to wherever you set one of said tiles on. You can have up to five tiles placed at a time, with any new ones having to replace an existing one. They can be set anywhere in the world, but you have to go to the spot in-person in order to place them. If the space that the tile is on is blocked or obscured by something, you'll appear in the nearest open space to it.

Which would you pick?

It doesn't change my answer, I'm just curious.

They'd never be allowed in the places I'd want to put them. So cash I guess.

Take the warp tiles, get on a show like America's Got Talent or something, bill yourself as a pro magician and do some killer tricks, probably win a million bucks with it anyway.

Or otherwise just start up a magic show with the warping stuff in general, you'd probably make good money either way.

Yep. As usual, not only is the ability of course the better choice on its own merits, but you could use it to make more money than the cash option with a little effort and creativity. Instantly warp freight from one side of the country to the other, for example.

Large enough for one average-sized adult, but as mentioned, anyone touching you would also be warped.

1 at work
1 at home
3 in different vacation spots. Maybe Hawaii, Japan and Norway initially.

Most expensive part of travel is the plane ticket and hotels. Even if you don't try to profit off of it, you can visit other countries as much as you want, for the cost of a one-way plane ticket, and teleport back home at the end of the day

easily the ability to warp. 250k isn't a crazy amount of money, if it was like 100 million + i would prob take the money but you could easily make 250k in no time just being a sideshow

And you can take a bike with you, and just replace that country's tile wherever you stop when you are done there for the day.

Just get local currency. Otherwise, your bank will throw all the alarms when your card is appearing on opposite sides of the world within an hour of each other.

I feel like after using the warp tiles one too many times some religious zealot would kill me for witchcraft, sorcery, or demonic possession.

A lot of these hypotheticals assume the surrounding populace wouldn't bat an eye to us having these magical/unique gifts or powers when human history has taught us it inevitably leads to someone killing us.

Especially since this is like real magic and not just illusions or magic tricks.

Tiles I guess. It'd be a bit inconvenient to set up first, but once they're set it'd be fantastic.

I'd have 1 at home for obvious reasons.
1 at work to cut out the travel.
I'd put 1 at the beach for instant vacation mode whenever I feel like.
Maybe 1 at the doctor's office just for convenience.

Can't really think of a good place for the 5th. I guess either just save it as a spare, or maybe put it at the grocery store.

I think Id have one in my home in Hanoi, one at brothers house in Southampton, one in Tokyo, one in Hoi An, and one that Id take with me if I was going anywhere else in case I wanted to hope back home or to bring somebody to me easily.

I dont think Id bother to put one at work.

This seems like a potential way to avoid even the cost of the first trip. Put a tile on someone / something that's going there anyway (a plane / ship or someone travelling on one, or a migratory bird, etc) and when it arrives, teleport to it.
