    Would you accept $1 million?

    or would you prefer tranquility?

    I can't even dream of being that smart so it is hard for me to put myself into that persons shoes.

    Re: Would you accept $1 million?

    I like this comment:

    Mathematically this doesn't add up. Maybe his attentions have become so divided that he no longer knows the pluses or minuses of the situation. However that doesn't subtract the fact that this is a million dollars. Then again maybe he feels his problems will multiply and overwhelm him if he accepts the money. I say take the money and run.
    Now that MBB is back, do we still have to pretend that WBB matters?

    I just got done watching "The Box" so no, I don't take the million dollars.

    Re: Would you accept $1 million?

    Reminds me a bit of A Beautiful Mind. Sounds like he is quite introverted and antisocial, but if I lived in Russia, I wouldn't tell anyone a thing until I accepted the money while boarding a plane (or once it was in the air).
