If you implement Program A, there&#8217;s a 100 percent chance that you&#8217;ll save 200 lives, but a zero percent chance that you&#8217;ll save the other 400.

She&#8217;d been complaining about how bad her camera was (a previous gift from yours truly—and most definitely not a prank) and she wanted something that took better pictures.
