Like the experiment where they're told to zap a guy strapped in the other room, and increase the voltage. Buuut, the guy on the other side isn't actually getting zapped, just screaming louder and louder.
You should do a version of this where the prize starts at $0, and every time the button is pressed, it kills that person, but adds $20 to the prize pool. See how many people sacrifice themselves for the group. Maybe even have the twist be that the ending prize is split between the people who pressed the button.
I love how quickly this all went downhill in just 5 minutes with people fighting each other and pressing the button and Wilbur pulling an Eren Yeager to encourage killing
Wilbur's the kind of guy to see 100 of his fans and ask: 'is no one going to trap them in a room, turn them into lab rats, and then experiment on them using some sort of sociological and psychological torture?' and not wait for an answer.
I mean there were only two left compared to the other groups. That group murdered the most people. But the final two were wholesome so thats something.
there is a slight “flaw” with this experiment from a game theory perspective-anyone who does the math would know that it is NEVER advantageous to anyone, including yourself, to press the button. Every time the button is pressed, the survivors’ expected value of winnings stays UNCHANGED, and the less times the button is pressed, the less chance you have of being eliminated and the less money you win if you do win. The ONLY reasons to press the button are ignorance (because surviving a button press SEEMS like it should increase your overall expected value even though it doesn’t) or malice.
Your expected winnings actually goes down. Pressing the button doesn’t change your probability of winning because the probability of dying balances out decrease in players. You have to multiply the chance of surviving the button press with the chance of winning. Formally: 1/(n-1) * (n - 1)/n = 1/n, where n is the number of players alive But the price pool decreases, so expected outcome decreases by 0.1$ every press.
@@albertarvadottosen3512 yes, i just phrased it differently-your expected winnings GIVEN you survive is the same, but you ALSO have a chance of dying. So even if you are on the winning side, you get no net benefit, and if you aren’t, obviously you get less. V_exp = V(W)*P(W|S)*P(S), with V(W) and P(S) decreasing linearly while P(W|S) increases linearly in lockstep with them.
I wouldn’t say so-the math is never explained to them, so I think a lot are under the FALLACY that it is selfish-but advantageous to push the button. A few probably figured it out and just pressed the button despite rationally knowing it’s the wrong move, and many others probably figured it out and as such just watched from the sidelines knowing it was both their best chance of success and the least harmful, but if you want to test “people doing the irrational thing” they need to KNOW what the rational strategy is.
I love these experiments. MORE SIGNS THOUGH. Seeing the random things people choose to say is always my favorite part. Like a sign right after every other big event would be great. Let people talk smack or justify their decisions like the the flower guy lol
Suuorb: enters a social experiment where you can win money Suuorb: actively doesn't press the button to survive Suuorb: doesn't press it when there's two people left Suuorb: doesn't take the money
Group 1: eventually there will be a group for peace but not after death Group 2: it doesn’t matter how many people agree as long as there’s one bad person people are bound to fail Group 3: Even in a group of friends greed drives to murder Thank you for coming to my Ted talk
I've missed these experiments, I go back to binge watch the old ones every now and then. The chaos and gradual collapse of each society is always interesting.
From a game theory perspective the best move is to not press the button. The chance that you survive a press and win with one less person is the same as winning before the press, but the prize pool is 10 dollars less. For instance if there are ten people left, you have a 9/10 chance of surviving a press, and a 1/9 chance of winning with 9 people alive, which multiplied together is 1/10, the same as winning with 10 people alive, but the prize pool is now $90 instead of $100.
@@iknight60 but now you have less chance to receive said higher prize. The real negative to pressing the button is that you have a chance to die yourself, and the real positive from not is that wilber has to spend more money
little known fact, if you hold down right click on a button it never depresses. So if someone had just held down right click (and not been interrupted of course) they could have kept the total at 1k
@@centxiv even if it wasn’t a lie it doesn’t make any fucking sense. The money lowering and the death are related to eachother. If the button is “constantly depressed” then that would mean the button basically either is being clicked a lot or not being clicked, not both. So either it would work normally and people would die and the cost would lower, or neither would happen because it’s not being de-pressed so nothing happens as nothing is being pressed. This comment doesn’t make sense at all, unless you’re assuming that the cost lowering is somehow directly connected during the de-press and not the initial press, which is a stupid fucking assumption.
TwinTallio: *presses button* Wilbur: "oh my god. you bitch that part made me burst out in laughter and i rarely laugh out loud to videos this is one of the many reasons why i love Wilbur
im pretty sure its a haiku ifit was defy it would be 2 syllabus off ): we may never know or u could be right and im wrong ig just thought id say have a great day
Fun fact, pressing the button actually doesn't increase your chances to win at all. Each time the button is pressed, you have the same chance to die from it that you do to win with the current player count. Coupled with the decreased reward from every death, this means that pressing the button is always the incorrect choice. If we take it to the extreme, let's say there are only two people left; you and one other person. You have two choices, press the button and have a 50% chance to live and walk away with $10, *OR* wait out the remaining time, and have a 50% chance to walk away with $20. While it would require more tedious math, this logic applies no matter how many people are left. Because of this, it would've been better to make it impossible for the presser to be killed, which would leave what was probably the intended social experiment about greed. Though of course, some people just wanna watch the world burn, and will press the button anyway.
I like how in every group, there's always one person with marginally more self preservation than the rest. There was that one person in the first group that instantly sneaked away into the corner when Wilbur monologued, the two people in the second group had braincells, and there was two people in the third group that immediately start backing up when Wilbur starts the whole, "There's so few of you left, who's gonna make it a few less?" spiel. That's the part that sticks out to me
All the people in the comments saying "there's no point in pressing the button since the money stays the same" you're right. That's what makes the challenge more interesting because I'm sure most of the people there know that. It's interesting because what happens when risk comes into play is that people get curious. 🤷🏽♀️
@@Coom42069 hey pickled cabbage, on mobile the comment is 100% viewable before starting the video because of the likes. Go eat a sugar cube you vinegar soaked vegetable
There's totally no point in pressing the button, not a single benefit but harm for all instead. Yet they still do it. I think that is more concerning, frankly this has spooked me out 😵💫
wilbur at the end of group one, slowly building his voice and trying to convince one of them to press the button was genuinely quite creepy. he is very good at that. i want to be able to do that.
Desires and Delusions, Ambitions and illusions. Your hopes and dreams may be blood and screams For as one who knows far to much, I warn you the price for the prize you *may* not clutch Context it is 5 Am I have not slept The stories and their possibilities haunt me
i feel like instead of the prize being deducted, the button should kill someone, but the price increases everytime, that way we can see how more easily people turn on each other
Twintallio's character was like a villain arc tbh. After being tasked with a heavy burden he was respected by all but one, violet... And at the end where he saw his companions favor violet over him he went mad and pressed the button. He never wanted the money but the attention
Mathematically, pushing the button doesn't even give you a higher chance of winning money. Sure, if you live your odds go from 1/100 to 1/99, but the 1/100 chance of you dying cancels that out. So if you think about it there is no reason to push the button unless you just want to lower the prize pool.
I thought this. I can't really understand why anyone bothered pressing the button. At least if nobody pressed the button, someone would've won the whole prize pool. I guess pressing the button gives you more of a chance to get in the video though.
Infact, the eypected value of not pressing the button is always 10, while the value of pressing the button decreases from 9.9 at 100 players all the way down to 5, when there's only two players left. So the more you press the button the stupider it becomes. Another interesting fact: pressing the button continually until one person is left gives you a 0.01 chace of winning 10 dollars, putting the expected value of this strategy all the way down to 0.1
How about a pvp where a random secret number is generated for each person, and if they kill more than the number they were assigned to they die themselves? Maybe as a bonus or a test of trust, 2 people know each others counters but they don't know their own, and they have to rely on each other to know how many people they can kill. Maybe that way it will keep the social experiment idea.
never thought I'd get to see myself in a 100 player challenge but it happened and I'm so excited to see it all come together! this was super fun to be part of wilbur, thanks for having us :)
The issue with this is that even for a purely selfish person, it's never advantageous to push the button. The expected value (reward/odds) remains constant after each press of the button (each goes down by 1%) so, factoring in the chance of death, it always reduces your EV if you push the button
Yeah but to be completely honest, I would whether have a 1/100 chance of getting $100 than a 1/1000 chance of receiving $1000. This is the same ratio as this video, yet I would probably push the button until only about 37% of people remain, in which case it isn’t really advantageous anymore. What can you get with just $10?
ʕCandleWaxʔ The problem is that every time you push that button enough times to do that, it actually becomes likely (90% chance) that you also die. The trick is that everyone had the exact same odds of winning the money regardless of how many times the button is pressed, the amount of money just shrinks
You can think of Wilbur selecting a person at the end as statistically identical to him just pushing the button x-1 times, where x is the number of remaining participants. In other words, while it's true that *after* surviving your odds of winning the money go up, the act of pushing it doesn't actually increase your odds of winning and basically only serves to shrink the prize pool
@@candlewax2587 Take the last 2 of round 2 Both their chances of winning 20 bucks without pressing the button is 50% If one of them decided to press the button there's a 50% chance they live and win the now to 10 bucks decreased prize pool It works like this for every single one
@@candlewax2587 The problem with doing that is that your odds of winning never truly go up, but the pot goes down. Other than malevolence for the sake of malevolence, there's no good reason to push the button. Think of it this way: the odds of winning the full pot at the start is a 1/100 chance. If someone pushes the button, you have a 1/100 chance of being eliminated. If, at that point, nobody pushes the button, your odds of winning are 1/99. If someone pushes the button again, you have a 1/99 chance of getting eliminated. At that point, the odds of winning are 1/98, and pushing the button has a 1/98 chance of killing you. This is true all the way down; your odds of winning with two players left is 1/2, regardless of whether or not you push the button. The odds of you surviving to that point are miniscule, and it evens out to a 1% chance of winning. The only difference is that the further along you are in the chain, the smaller the pot is. It's a good social experiment, but not in the way it initially seems to be.
I feel like TwinTallio's reason for betraying them, "you should've given me flowers" was like a classic villain story, I feel like they should've had an evil speech and everything, like "YOU WILL REGRET NOT GIVING ME FLOWERS BWAHAHAHA" (edit omg thank u for the likes, it's the most I've ever gotten ❤)
SO GLAD 100 PLAYERS IS BACK, IT'S MY FAVORITE SERIES!!! also let's talk about how this has got 702k views in about 7 hours... that's Insane, so proud of wilbur :D it's also so awesome to see so many new players; in his old videos we saw lots of repeating people but this just shows how much wilbur has grown :]
this challenge is a fun one. There's always two types of people in all "youtube social experiment" videos, the "I'm here to make content/win" and the "I'm happy that I can participate/interact" the problem is that in any other challenge the latter is always in a disadvantage because the winner-fiends have the tools to win and will take the pacifism of the experiencers as an opportunity of easy prey. In all the "I left 100 players in X" or "Simulating civilizations in minecraft" there's always the people who just want peace and to have fun, but 5 hits with the sword do the trick so the people who leave are always the same. Now in this one, the tool the winner-fiends have to win is self destructive, the winner-fiends can't consistently kill without being killed, but the experiencers can consistently survive, as long as they don't press the button.
From the point of maximizing your profit you are even at disadvantage if you do press the button. At the beginning you have 1000$ and 1/100 chance of winning so we could say there is expected profit of 1000 * 1/100 = 10$, if someone presses the button, one person dies and the expected profit is 990 * 1/99 so still 10$. This means that no matter whether there is 100 people of you are in the final 10, your expected profit is always the same, however every time someone presses the button there is also a chance of you being kicked out of the game. Every button pressed reduces your chance in participating in the final lottery so the best strategy for maximizing your and everyone's profit is to just sit it out and not press the button.
It's also worth mentioning that in this game, the "experiencers" are more dangerous. The best logical way to win is for no one to press it, but it's a lot funnier and a lot more enjoyable if you press the button.
Please do this experiment again, this was awesome to watch. Maybe add some extra stuff to distract (like the parkour) and see if side quests or other incentives will draw people away from the button
I will always love it when one of these experiments happen because they always have me interested lmao. Hope to participate in one of these someday because these look fun :) Awesome video!!
It's been a long while Pixel, a long time. The last time he made one of these was around a year and a half ago. This one is explicitly called, "Social Experiment", meanwhile the others just imply it. This is only the beginning, as the long-awaited mystery Wilbur has been brewing might finally be revealed..?
Honestly I missed the old events where wilbur did those social experiments and gave a group of people a goal. seeing him doing them again is so nostalgic, I'm glad they are back cause I genuinely enjoyed them the most!
No matter how many times the button is pressed, each individual in the starting pool has the same chance of winning the prize, but the total decreases. So the optimal play would be to never press the button, but the trigger happy players cause the total to diminish rapidly.
Wait how would that work? If there are 50 players to start with and none press the button, the win chance will be 1/50. If they press the button 25 times and there are say 25 people left, the win chance is 1/25, right? Ignoring the risk of death, their win chance increases each time
@@sugoish9461 everyone had an equal chance of dying though so although the chance of winning if you're alive increases the chance that you are actually alive decreases with each press
Yay the 100 people challenges are back! (Seriously, I have watched all of the other ones and I am actually really really happy they are back- hopefully?) anyway, I just happen to be wearing my jumper that reminds me of ghostbur lol
Wilbur is the only person who can turn his subscribers into lab rats, make them run around and interact, and then make them fight and die cinematically
If you think about it, since the chance of dying is random, the chance of being the winner is always 1/100, no matter how many times you press the button, so by pressing it you only decrease the prize pool.
The fact that the prize pool goes down 10 dollars each time means that the expected value of money you're going to get doesn't change no matter who pushes the button, which is really interesting
the prize wasn’t going to be split equally, so no. only one person was going to win. the value decreased but some just wanted a better chance to win less, more than a worse chance to win more.
@@finlaymccormack6908 you do increase your chances, the only people who have a chance of getting the money are the people who are alive at the end, so if no one pushed the button your chance of winning would be 1/100 for $1,000 but if only 5 people were left your chance of winning would be 1/5 for $50
@@justapineapple7338 nope, when pressing the button u have a 1/100 chance of dying, and at the end u have a 1/100 chance of winning. Therefore they have the exact same effect
I think this is based on the short story “button, button” where (spoilers) A couple is given a button by a mysterious person and are told that if they press the button they will get $50,000, but a random person will be killed that they don’t know. They debate whether they should press it, and the boyfriend doesn’t want to, but the girlfriend does. Eventually the boyfriend leaves the house to go somewhere on a train, and the girlfriend presses the button. She then gets a call saying that the boyfriend was pushed in front of a train, and she says that they said it would be a random person she doesn’t know. In a plot twist, it says “Did you really know him?”, because of how much they argue. I thought that this was a coincidence because we just read it in school.
This is my second time watching the video and I now realize that pressing the button is just statistically worse for you, you have the same odds of winning if you press or don’t press button, but not pressing it will give you more money. Like the last 2 people in group 2 had NO reason to press button. Don’t press button and you have 50% chance of $20, press it and you have 50% chance of $10
It would have been cool if different groups had different scenarios. Then it would have also been statistical as to what affects their behavior most positively/negatively. Group A: Original Group B: Solo small one room and button per person Group C: Split among 5-10 people per room. rooms are labeled 1-10
I think the funniest part of this experiment, is that regardless of how many times he button is pressed, mathematically, the expected value never changes, so pressing the button is only detrimental, since you can die yourself if the button is pressed, preventing you from receiving the prize.
more accurately, pressing the button doesn't actually change your chance of winning the money and only decreases the prize pool as by pressing the button you have a chance to kill yourself, and the winner is randomly chosen amid the winning candidates
Some of these people either don’t really care all that much about the money, are bad at math, or want to be annoying. That’s the only reason to press the button
This made me oddly nostalgic for the mid-2000's dystopian YA novels I was obsessed with in middle school. The evil overlord. The people banding together to take a stand against corruption. The betrayals. The survivors selflessly sacrificing themselves in the end. Suzanne Collins who, honestly.
@@Yourlocalbush Yes, but decreasing the prize pool, so the expected value stays the same: 10$. Except you also give yourself a chance of dying which decreases the expected value
You don’t increase your chance of winning.. your chances remain the same because of the probability of dying. Because both dying and winning are entirely random, there is literally zero motivation to press the button. (User Zero is right)
@@Yourlocalbush 0 kills: 1/100 chance of winning * 1000 dollars = 10 dollars expected value. 1 kill: 1/99 chance of winning * 990 dollars = 10 dollars expected value. 2 kills: 1/98 chance of winning * 980 dollars = 10 dollars expected value. etc. until everyone is dead. Except the expected value actually goes down slightly because you're not only killing the other players, there's also a chance that you eliminate yourself from the game. 0 kills: 10 dollars - (0 / 100 chance of eliminating yourself) = 10 dollars 1 kill: 10 dollars - (1 / 100 chance of eliminating yourself) = 9.989... dollars 2 kills: 10 dollars - (1 / 99 chance of eliminating yourself) = 9.989.... dollars ... 100 kills: 10 dollars - (1 / 1 chance of eliminating yourself) = 9 dollars (that's the theoretical value, of course everyone is dead so the actual value is 0 dollars.) So pressing the button literally only has a negative outcome. EDIT: My calculations are probably off on this. Taking into account that probabilities should be multiplied, not substracted, the decrease in expected payoff would be linear from 10 down to 0 (which makes more sense anyway). So 1 kill = 9.9 dollars, 2 kills = 9.8 dollars, 3 kills = 9.7 dollars, etc.
You should have multiple of these games going at the same time, and have the groups of each game be able to see eachother through barriers. When they push the button someone from their team dies. A random person from the winning team gets the teams prize.

Your expected winnings actually goes down. Pressing the button doesn’t change your probability of winning because the probability of dying balances out decrease in players. You have to multiply the chance of surviving the button press with the chance of winning. Formally: 1/(n-1) * (n - 1)/n = 1/n, where n is the number of players alive

Thats what makes the experiment interesting because you expect people to act rationally but they don't
I wouldn’t say so-the math is never explained to them, so I think a lot are under the FALLACY that it is selfish-but advantageous to push the button. A few probably figured it out and just pressed the button despite rationally knowing it’s the wrong move, and many others probably figured it out and as such just watched from the sidelines knowing it was both their best chance of success and the least harmful, but if you want to test “people doing the irrational thing” they need to KNOW what the rational strategy is.

TRUEEE
Imagine if they actually collaborated and Wilbur lost 3000 dollars
Most of the players r like 12 and can’t receive the money so it wouldn’t really be doing anything
@Kelly Jones yup
From a game theory perspective the best move is to not press the button. The chance that you survive a press and win with one less person is the same as winning before the press, but the prize pool is 10 dollars less. For instance if there are ten people left, you have a 9/10 chance of surviving a press, and a 1/9 chance of winning with 9 people alive, which multiplied together is 1/10, the same as winning with 10 people alive, but the prize pool is now $90 instead of $100.
@@iknight60 but now you have less chance to receive said higher prize. The real negative to pressing the button is that you have a chance to die yourself, and the real positive from not is that wilber has to spend more money

JIM oh stars I love your videos
Woah, Jim, did NOT expect to see you here
little known fact, if you hold down right click on a button it never depresses. So if someone had just held down right click (and not been interrupted of course) they could have kept the total at 1k
Maybe the game would say so but I don’t think Wilbur would just watch and accept that
@@voidboi2831 he would probably watch for like five minutes then end it lmao
Nah atleast 990$
this is a complete lie, holding down right click just presses the button again as soon as it's off cooldown
@@centxiv even if it wasn’t a lie it doesn’t make any fucking sense. The money lowering and the death are related to eachother. If the button is “constantly depressed” then that would mean the button basically either is being clicked a lot or not being clicked, not both. So either it would work normally and people would die and the cost would lower, or neither would happen because it’s not being de-pressed so nothing happens as nothing is being pressed. This comment doesn’t make sense at all, unless you’re assuming that the cost lowering is somehow directly connected during the de-press and not the initial press, which is a stupid fucking assumption.

Fun fact, pressing the button actually doesn't increase your chances to win at all. Each time the button is pressed, you have the same chance to die from it that you do to win with the current player count. Coupled with the decreased reward from every death, this means that pressing the button is always the incorrect choice. If we take it to the extreme, let's say there are only two people left; you and one other person. You have two choices, press the button and have a 50% chance to live and walk away with $10, *OR* wait out the remaining time, and have a 50% chance to walk away with $20. While it would require more tedious math, this logic applies no matter how many people are left.
Because of this, it would've been better to make it impossible for the presser to be killed, which would leave what was probably the intended social experiment about greed.
Though of course, some people just wanna watch the world burn, and will press the button anyway.

Mathematically, pushing the button doesn't even give you a higher chance of winning money. Sure, if you live your odds go from 1/100 to 1/99, but the 1/100 chance of you dying cancels that out. So if you think about it there is no reason to push the button unless you just want to lower the prize pool.
I thought this. I can't really understand why anyone bothered pressing the button. At least if nobody pressed the button, someone would've won the whole prize pool. I guess pressing the button gives you more of a chance to get in the video though.
They think killing someone increases the odds, but I wonder how many stopped to think about it
Trolls and desperate people?
The lessen the prize others could win
Infact, the eypected value of not pressing the button is always 10, while the value of pressing the button decreases from 9.9 at 100 players all the way down to 5, when there's only two players left. So the more you press the button the stupider it becomes.
Another interesting fact: pressing the button continually until one person is left gives you a 0.01 chace of winning 10 dollars, putting the expected value of this strategy all the way down to 0.1
I miss the social experiments, glad they are slowly coming back.
Glad to see this series is back!

How about a pvp where a random secret number is generated for each person, and if they kill more than the number they were assigned to they die themselves?
Maybe as a bonus or a test of trust, 2 people know each others counters but they don't know their own, and they have to rely on each other to know how many people they can kill. Maybe that way it will keep the social experiment idea.

@@twintallio Oh my god it's you
The issue with this is that even for a purely selfish person, it's never advantageous to push the button. The expected value (reward/odds) remains constant after each press of the button (each goes down by 1%) so, factoring in the chance of death, it always reduces your EV if you push the button
Yeah but to be completely honest, I would whether have a 1/100 chance of getting $100 than a 1/1000 chance of receiving $1000. This is the same ratio as this video, yet I would probably push the button until only about 37% of people remain, in which case it isn’t really advantageous anymore. What can you get with just $10?
ʕCandleWaxʔ
The problem is that every time you push that button enough times to do that, it actually becomes likely (90% chance) that you also die. The trick is that everyone had the exact same odds of winning the money regardless of how many times the button is pressed, the amount of money just shrinks
You can think of Wilbur selecting a person at the end as statistically identical to him just pushing the button x-1 times, where x is the number of remaining participants. In other words, while it's true that *after* surviving your odds of winning the money go up, the act of pushing it doesn't actually increase your odds of winning and basically only serves to shrink the prize pool
@@candlewax2587
Take the last 2 of round 2
Both their chances of winning 20 bucks without pressing the button is 50%
If one of them decided to press the button there's a 50% chance they live and win the now to 10 bucks decreased prize pool
It works like this for every single one
@@candlewax2587 The problem with doing that is that your odds of winning never truly go up, but the pot goes down. Other than malevolence for the sake of malevolence, there's no good reason to push the button. Think of it this way: the odds of winning the full pot at the start is a 1/100 chance. If someone pushes the button, you have a 1/100 chance of being eliminated. If, at that point, nobody pushes the button, your odds of winning are 1/99. If someone pushes the button again, you have a 1/99 chance of getting eliminated. At that point, the odds of winning are 1/98, and pushing the button has a 1/98 chance of killing you. This is true all the way down; your odds of winning with two players left is 1/2, regardless of whether or not you push the button. The odds of you surviving to that point are miniscule, and it evens out to a 1% chance of winning. The only difference is that the further along you are in the chain, the smaller the pot is. It's a good social experiment, but not in the way it initially seems to be.

No period.
🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
this challenge is a fun one. There's always two types of people in all "youtube social experiment" videos, the "I'm here to make content/win" and the "I'm happy that I can participate/interact" the problem is that in any other challenge the latter is always in a disadvantage because the winner-fiends have the tools to win and will take the pacifism of the experiencers as an opportunity of easy prey.
In all the "I left 100 players in X" or "Simulating civilizations in minecraft" there's always the people who just want peace and to have fun, but 5 hits with the sword do the trick so the people who leave are always the same.
Now in this one, the tool the winner-fiends have to win is self destructive, the winner-fiends can't consistently kill without being killed, but the experiencers can consistently survive, as long as they don't press the button.
From the point of maximizing your profit you are even at disadvantage if you do press the button. At the beginning you have 1000$ and 1/100 chance of winning so we could say there is expected profit of 1000 * 1/100 = 10$, if someone presses the button, one person dies and the expected profit is 990 * 1/99 so still 10$. This means that no matter whether there is 100 people of you are in the final 10, your expected profit is always the same, however every time someone presses the button there is also a chance of you being kicked out of the game. Every button pressed reduces your chance in participating in the final lottery so the best strategy for maximizing your and everyone's profit is to just sit it out and not press the button.
@@Laszer271 ppppppppppppp
It's also worth mentioning that in this game, the "experiencers" are more dangerous. The best logical way to win is for no one to press it, but it's a lot funnier and a lot more enjoyable if you press the button.
Yep, an experiencer in this scenario is someone who hits the button, while a winner is someone who does not. The winners are helpless.
We live in a society
Please do this experiment again, this was awesome to watch. Maybe add some extra stuff to distract (like the parkour) and see if side quests or other incentives will draw people away from the button

No matter how many times the button is pressed, each individual in the starting pool has the same chance of winning the prize, but the total decreases. So the optimal play would be to never press the button, but the trigger happy players cause the total to diminish rapidly.
Wait how would that work? If there are 50 players to start with and none press the button, the win chance will be 1/50. If they press the button 25 times and there are say 25 people left, the win chance is 1/25, right? Ignoring the risk of death, their win chance increases each time
Or am I getting something wrong...

@@justapineapple7338 nope, when pressing the button u have a 1/100 chance of dying, and at the end u have a 1/100 chance of winning. Therefore they have the exact same effect
I think this is based on the short story “button, button” where (spoilers)
A couple is given a button by a mysterious person and are told that if they press the button they will get $50,000, but a random person will be killed that they don’t know. They debate whether they should press it, and the boyfriend doesn’t want to, but the girlfriend does. Eventually the boyfriend leaves the house to go somewhere on a train, and the girlfriend presses the button. She then gets a call saying that the boyfriend was pushed in front of a train, and she says that they said it would be a random person she doesn’t know. In a plot twist, it says “Did you really know him?”, because of how much they argue.
I thought that this was a coincidence because we just read it in school.
Holy crap that's such a clever twist.
That's amazing, going to throw it in the replies of my comment to refer back to it, will credit you
This is my second time watching the video and I now realize that pressing the button is just statistically worse for you, you have the same odds of winning if you press or don’t press button, but not pressing it will give you more money. Like the last 2 people in group 2 had NO reason to press button. Don’t press button and you have 50% chance of $20, press it and you have 50% chance of $10
Yeah but pressing it is funny
“Gay cats be like i like men” best quote ever, immaculate, very inspiring
It would have been cool if different groups had different scenarios. Then it would have also been statistical as to what affects their behavior most positively/negatively.
Group A: Original
Group B: Solo small one room and button per person
Group C: Split among 5-10 people per room. rooms are labeled 1-10
I think the funniest part of this experiment, is that regardless of how many times he button is pressed, mathematically, the expected value never changes, so pressing the button is only detrimental, since you can die yourself if the button is pressed, preventing you from receiving the prize.
This^
more accurately, pressing the button doesn't actually change your chance of winning the money and only decreases the prize pool as by pressing the button you have a chance to kill yourself, and the winner is randomly chosen amid the winning candidates
It’s a bunch of kids, they don’t understand expected value yet lol
Some of these people either don’t really care all that much about the money, are bad at math, or want to be annoying. That’s the only reason to press the button
Primary reason was boredom, I presume
lol I love how it always boils down to the peaceful group

This made me oddly nostalgic for the mid-2000's dystopian YA novels I was obsessed with in middle school. The evil overlord. The people banding together to take a stand against corruption. The betrayals. The survivors selflessly sacrificing themselves in the end. Suzanne Collins who, honestly.
The funny thing is, by pressing the button you're only decreasing the expected value for yourself. Pressing it is just objectively wrong
But you’re also increasing the chance for your win
@@Yourlocalbush Yes, but decreasing the prize pool, so the expected value stays the same: 10$. Except you also give yourself a chance of dying which decreases the expected value
You don’t increase your chance of winning.. your chances remain the same because of the probability of dying. Because both dying and winning are entirely random, there is literally zero motivation to press the button. (User Zero is right)
@@userzero6555 I’m going to be honest I don’t understand this one
@@Yourlocalbush
0 kills: 1/100 chance of winning * 1000 dollars = 10 dollars expected value.
1 kill: 1/99 chance of winning * 990 dollars = 10 dollars expected value.
2 kills: 1/98 chance of winning * 980 dollars = 10 dollars expected value.
etc. until everyone is dead.
Except the expected value actually goes down slightly because you're not only killing the other players, there's also a chance that you eliminate yourself from the game.
0 kills: 10 dollars - (0 / 100 chance of eliminating yourself) = 10 dollars
1 kill: 10 dollars - (1 / 100 chance of eliminating yourself) = 9.989... dollars
2 kills: 10 dollars - (1 / 99 chance of eliminating yourself) = 9.989.... dollars
...
100 kills: 10 dollars - (1 / 1 chance of eliminating yourself) = 9 dollars (that's the theoretical value, of course everyone is dead so the actual value is 0 dollars.)
So pressing the button literally only has a negative outcome.
EDIT: My calculations are probably off on this. Taking into account that probabilities should be multiplied, not substracted, the decrease in expected payoff would be linear from 10 down to 0 (which makes more sense anyway). So 1 kill = 9.9 dollars, 2 kills = 9.8 dollars, 3 kills = 9.7 dollars, etc.
Your odds of winning never actually change from 1/100, only the prize pool decreases with each press. How fun
