This is Hoshino Aki who for some reason has ended up scantly clad on some train tracks.
A shinkansen bullet train (specifically the Nozomi from Tokyo to Osaka) is speeding towards her.
She shouts out to you "I swear to live by your side forever but please save me!"
You whip out your calculator that you carry around with you everywhere - calculate the distance between you and her, her and the train, approximate speed of the train, wind velocity, her approximate weight and distraction time needed for you to look at her eyes.
Your calculations show that you have a 50% percent chance of surviving and rescuing her at the same time.
What do you do?
Video of Aki in action below to help you decide.

Quite sexy, but it looks like this picture came from a "rape fantasy" photo-session, maybe one of my least-favorite Japanese institutions...

i would save her like how spiderman stopped the train in spiderman movie 1 (or 2)
Registered on 2007/10/20 15:23
I would save her ... only if she became my slave.
But how she got on the tracks wearing underwear is a mystery ... sexy suicide?

1. Teleport to her
2. Save her from approaching train
3. Teleport away from train to unknown place
4. ???
5. Profit!
If she's wearing a train uniform that would be great! ^^;

I'd wondering why she'd be there in such an outfit in the first place, but duty of saving the innocent would come first... Then I'd walk alone in the direction the horizon, dismissing what she would have said.
Yeah, an ending to a story that seems to be befitting me.

in the first place, with such a hottie - i wont even wipped out the calculate and just dive straight in to save her
1) its either i saved her and she be happily my slave
or
2) we die together in each other's arms
both ways sounds like a happy ending..just dive in

if it was me, i'll throw away the calculator and save her instead of calculating the chances.
coz everyone can predict risk, but few are dare enough to take them. ;p.

my sentiments exactly...
why waste time calculating when you can use that few extra seconds to pull off the save
Student
Registered on 2007/08/22 14:21
The chance of surviving, saving her, and taking her home would probably be around 60~70% if you shave off the time of whipping out the calculator and calculating...probably can increase the chance by just losing some dead weight to run faster like the calculator, watch, keys, wallet, bling, clothes...

Um...couldn't she simply get up and save herself?

I would curse myself for not running to her rescue right away, thus lowering the chance of survival with atleast 30%.
And then I would cure myself yet again for taking time cursing myself, thus lowering the chance of survival 3% more.
And so on, she would have died if I was her savior :<

You forgot to mention the super human boost you get from looking at her eyes. That raises the chance of saving her and surviving to 9001%. That's over 9000.

"Sayonara ~o" Well, she's damn cute, but 50% live with her, 50% live with other girls. If I was able to calculate, i would let the train go on =P
But for human sake i would save her without think about it =/

She would have been run over by the time I made my calculations. :0

I don't need a calculator for this. Just need coffee, rice, and some time after.
Then get on the train, and go ....?

Registered on 2007/10/30 21:54
Well, given that I'm not academically smart enough to be a nerd. I could just ditch the calculator and save time from making calculations by just saving her. Then there'd be enough time to spare to watch the train go past and wave to the passengers while they take pictures of me with Hoshino Aki........................ Awesome..!
So yeah, I'd be going from a 50 to at least an 80 if I don't trip over something.
