"The Mexican Bus Conundrum... It's a beautiful, calm sunny day in the mountains of southern mexico - a perfect day for a walk but that's not what you're doing. You're on a bus. ... MoreThe bus is going through a particularly dangerous winding mountain pass. You've just at this moment noticed that the driver is on the verge of losing consciousness. It is no longer a question of whether, but a question of when. Do you... A) Watch him closely and wait for him to lose consciousness then grab the wheel and ASSUME control of the bus. B) Move him aside, grab the wheel and TAKE control of the bus. No one else sees what is happening and you don't speak Spanish. The bus is picking up speed. There's a curve ahead. The driver's head is leaning a bit more than usual now. One of his hands has fallen from the wheel. Once again, it's your move. What do you do? "
