It was a pool in X where people that press blue were not going to die. They just lied to feel better.

Try again with money, everyone puts $1000 so it's real but nobody dies. Red pushers get their money back, everyone if >50% press blue. I like my version where 10% have miss wired buttons, so the % of people that will vote "incorrectly" is inside the model. Send the lost money to an Khmer Rouge advocacy group so nobody feels good about losing the money.
