Ok, I've figured it out.

This is a trick question.

The answer is the same for all three questions. You don't do anything and let the situation mount into utter desperation. In the last second Chuck Norris will show up and roundhouse kick the train into PR1.2.

Right...? Right...??

True, but you have no way of knowing. It could be the other way around for all you know.

Quick question:
Is there any way to arrange all six of them in front of that train?

He's busy on PR1.2...

The question should be: If you have an update, which is fixing 5 bugs. Would you deliver it, when 1 bug is not fixed at all? Even it's a major bug?
LMFAO!

1- Unless one of them are family or friend, I let the 5 persons die.
2/3- Fat guy is not guilty for the stupid tied persons

Here is another one:

You're driving a sports car, and you are approaching a bus stop.

You see that there is an old lady in the bus stop who is having a heart attack. Your car is fast enough to take her to the nearest hospital, but by the time the ambulance arrived, she would die.

You also notice that there is an old and very good friend of yours in the bus stop, and he asks you to drive him home. You know that he would be angry for you for a very-very long time if you didn't.

And also there is the best woman you have ever seen in your life. You know that you would never see her again if you pass the opportunity to meet her now.

What would you do in this situation?

Correct. The point being that there is a seemingly infinite set of things we don't know, yet despite this most profound state of ignorance we presume to assert that saving 5 is somehow 'better' than saving one.

The point at which you decide to pull that switch (with no deeper knowledge of the people involved than their count) is the point at which you become an active decisive participant in a process that will end life.

That's significant. Far more significant than some cheap pop-psychology conundrum.

I would open Google Chrome on my N900 and look for a better solution:

No friend of mine would object to being stood up for some quality poontang...so I'd throw the old lady in the back, play the hero so the hot chick swoons into the front seat, and burn off into the sunset where rampant heroic sex awaits...hopefully with the hot chick, but if not, I doubt an old bag in cardiac arrest will be much of a struggle.
