But why did YOU expect him NOT to take the cash-you didn't answer that?
Oops.
Probably because I hadn't thought it through with Eugene-like method and reasoning.
It's never safe to assume we know what somebody else is thinking imo, but if we look at Eugene's possible thoughts...
If I don't take the money, people will think I'm stupid.
If I don't take the money, people will think I'm brave.
If I don't take the money, people will think I'm kind.
If I don't take the money, people will think I'm selfless.
If I take the money, people will think I'm honest.
If I take the money, people will think I play dirty.
If I take the money, people will think I'm selfish.
If I take the money, someone else will still receive £50,000, so I'm probably a combination of the above but I can live with that in the sense of fairness that 60 seconds has afforded me to ponder these options.
-in 60 seconds you decided he wouldn't take the money.Is that because you wouldn't have yourself because it was wrong or because you know him a little and based on that knowledge you thought that he thought he would decide it was wrong?
