If you accept the challenge, your hand is shackled into a guillotine, with the blade itself hanging overhead and in a ready position. You have four buttons in front of you; three of them will grant you the money, while the fourth one will cause the guillotine to drop and chop off your hand. You don't know which button does which, and you can't back out once your hand is shackled.

Would you take the risk?

I mean it doesn't seem like they gave me a choice.

That's after you decide to take the chance.

EDIT: Clarified the OP

Pass. The fire one was easier to pick from, losing a hand is something I'm not willing to do, especially since I'm in the tech field and using both of my hands is a blessing.

I bet in reality all of the switches drop the blade they just tell you "tough break you chose the wrong one"

Now that youre in there, we have a surprise for you. Rather than having you choose a single button, were going to set down a toddler with a toy hammer and 3 seconds to do what it do. Good luck!

No way. I might if I'd get the money even if I lost my hand, but no way would I take a 25% to get rich vs 75% to lose a hand.

That's up to you, but I'd think that even losing your inferior hand would still be a massive inconvenience.

You have it backwards. It's 75% of getting rich vs. 25% of losing a hand.
