(For those without information, ask and it shall be given. Can't guarantee it'll be short, though. God, this is so random)
Imagine with me, if you will:
You are on Deal or No Deal. There are 2 cases left, yours and one still on the steps. One contains a penny, while the other contains the million dollars.
For unknown reasons, the ability to switch your case at the last moment has been denied you, so you're stuck. The Banker has offered you $500,000. This is what it boils down to:
Deal, and walk away with half a mil, with the opportunity to gain double that lost, or don't deal, and either strike it rich, or try to unload one cent.
So the question stands:
Deal... or no deal?
