...or go without sleep for 48 hours?


Food or sleep?
Just to clarify, if you go for the 'go without food' option you're still allowed to drink water (as water isn't a food), but you can't have any drinks with calories or nutrients in them such as fizzy pop or soup, as that would be sort of cheating.

So those are the two options.  Go for forty eight hours without food or forty eight hours without sleep.  Which option would you go for?

Musical integrity or riches?

...making £5 million per year but producing music you didn't enjoy, or in a critically acclaimed serious band making £50,000 per year producing music you were proud of?


And just to clarify, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being in a boy band or girl band.  For example, I would extremely like to be in Girls Aloud if it meant I got to hang out with Cheryl Cole and Nicola Roberts all the time.

But for the purposes of the 'Would You Rather?' if you were in a boy band / girl band, you wouldn't enjoy the music you made.  That's the dilemma.

Would you choose riches over musical artistic integrity?

...or when you die?


This is another 'Would You Rather?' which the characters discuss in the 'How To Save The World' books.*

* Specifically, in 'How To Save The World: Part 2B - By Whatever Means Necessary'.

Given the circumstances that the main character, Eric, finds himself in, you could say it was quite a tactless choice of conversation for Kesta (Eric's mate) to bring this dilemma up, but anyway those are the two choices.

Would you rather find out how you die or when you die?

Win the lottery or cure malaria?
...or cure malaria from the world?


To start things off, here's a 'Would You Rather?' adapted from the opening chapter of my comedy sci-fi novel 'How To Save The World: An Alien Comedy'.

The actual 'Would You Rather?' featured in the book contains stronger adult humour than this PG version, but it's more or less along the same sort of theme.

Anyway, here's the dilemma...
