A cave-in occurs while you and a stranger are in a concrete room
In a mine shaft. Before the phone goes dead, you learn the
entire mine is sealed and the air hole being drilled will not
reach you for 30 hours. If you both take sleeping pills from
the medicine chest, the oxygen will last for only 20 hours.
Both of you can't survive; alone, one of you might. After you
both realize this, the stranger takes several sleeping pills,
says that it is in God's hands, and falls asleep. You have a
pistol; what do you do?

1. Kick myself in the ass for going into the mine shaft in the first place.
All joking aside, my answer should be obvious.

4. I'm wondering if the firing of the gun would use up oxygen?
Might just have to bludgeon the sleeping stranger with the pistol. :hide:

I would find every excuse possible to avoid killing in cold blood...

7. Ok, going along with your implausible mine filled with seals,
what's keeping someone from just luring them out of there with some nice fresh tasty fish ?

8. Stick his hand in a glass of water
If you're going to die you might as well have a good laugh.

9. Some reporter once asked an astronaut
if his engine stopped working and there was only enough oxygen to live half an hour, what would he do for that half hour.

His answer was work on the engine.
