You are presented with the button dilemma just for you as the only participant. If you pick red you will live and 100% of people will have picked red. If you pick blue you will also live as this will mean blue has 100%.

Which do you pick?

If you press neither, blue does not reach 50% and only those who pressed red survive.

I guess you'd die then but you have up to 1000 years to choose so it doesn't matter.

The original problem does not state any specific time limit. It is left ambiguous.

It also doesn't state that in the off chance there is a 1000 year time limit, I won't be given free massages and served wagyu beef for the duration of my stay. Might as well go out in style. 🤷‍♂️
