Quote interesting, it does seem, however, that averages are destroyed by outliers.. it seems that people are quite unreasonable in the amount of money they demand for relatively minor things.. Such as leaving a city, over 50 million usd? really? wtf? They're sprinkled over the entire planet and no single one is SO MUCH better than other top tier cities..
Other things, like roussian roulette is kind of too low.. average of $204.921.322.. you're (I assume) 50/50 on ending your life. .that should approach priceless (I chose 900 million)
On the third hand.. $18.042.936 for eating a cocroach ?wtf, only multimillionaires playing this game? that's an easy task with very low risk..
Given the log-slider, a log-average would probably make more sense. As in, take the log of all responses, average those, and raise the average to the power of 10.
That makes sense intuitively too - it feels like $10k is twice as 'big' an amount of money as $1k is
