    25% chance is good enough odds for me to pull! 75% chance of saving everyone sounds good to me!

      You’ll kill 1.25 people to save 1?

      Is this because you’re bad at math, or enjoy gambling with others’ lives?

        It ain’t my life being risked, so I’ll be a high roller in this scenario.

        Edit:

        My inner Uncle Steven Delanor Rancford Libby III taken over when I see 75% success chance!

        I think I liked another commenter’s explanation that the value of saving everyone is much higher than the value of merely saving 5.
