Train Girl
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?
