  1. You have been dared to spend a night in a remote house alone just for the sake of it. The house is well-known to be haunted, but you are not given any further information apart from that. Electricity has been cut off but the water is perfectly running and drinkable, along with the rest of the utilities. You are only allowed to bring a flashlight or lantern for the company.

However, you know that your partner will cheat on you with someone else in six months. Once your partner found out that you know about the affair, he/she will leave you for the fling and want to have nothing more to do with you. Would you still meet and fall for the person, experiencing the 6 months of probably the best love life? Then you'd suffer the pain that would follow.

  7. Someone you have known for life is in deep pain, paralyzed and know that the sickness will eat he/she away in a month. He desperately begs you to give him a painless, instant lethal injection so he/she can die. No one will know the deal. Would you kill your close friend?
