Decisioning Exercise 2: The Many-Armed Band Aid

You are a highly advanced, many-armed band aid. You have 17 arms, each one capable of applying pressure, holding things, or making a really poor attempt at a thumbs up gesture.

Your goal is to decide which of your 17 arms to use to hold a 3-armed robot that is trying to escape. You have 3 options:

  1. Use 3 arms to pin the robot down
  2. Use 2 arms to hold the robot's other arm, while using 1 arm to distract it with a poorly made "who's on first" joke
  3. Use 1 arm to hold a nearby vase, while using 16 arms to create a complex, 3D origami animal to confuse the robot

Choose your answer:
