Do you push the button?


You have the only button, and if you push it all other posters die.

At the end of 3 minutes everyone is released regardless and gets a bucket of ice cream to share.

Seems like one of those mindgame traps that punishes selfish people. Anyone who presses the button probably dies.

Me too. I'm lactose intolerant pretty bad.

Can the other PotDers eat my share of the ice cream?
