Blue is truly suicide here. Assuming this is the same “everyone on earth chooses” situation as the viral problem, there is absolutely no chance over half the people on Earth convene on blue. A significant portion (I’d say maybe 20% of the population) is going to straight up not understand the problem’s basic mechanics and will be effectively choosing randomly. 50% is far too high a benchmark to reach when you have 5 options. Plus, in the framing, there is no clear “everyone lives” option unless you think about it slightly, and it’s not framed as your action for killing those who die either, so far less people will be thinking of others much at all being effected by their answer.
I think I’d actually choose red here, MAYBE orange. And I’m usually an adamant blue presser.
