• The text reads: "Imagine you’re in an out-of-control trolley. You’re headed toward three buildings, and you control which you slam into. Two buildings contain five people; one building contains one person. You randomly select a building to slam into. Then, one of the other buildings is revealed to contain five people. Should you switch tracks?"
