Imagine the following...

Thought experiment:`somethign similar to "the purge"

every person on earth over 10 has to write down a name on a piece of paper, and that person dies.

if you dont write a name, you die yourself. no exceptions for lame excuses like i cannot write etc.
also every name is meant for exactly one person you have in mind... no excuses like i meant the John Smith from New York not the one from Chicago.
you dont have to know the person you write on the paper personally but you got to have an idea who he is. so celebrities are ok, but john smith if you dont know any john smith isnt.

if a person get named multiple times they can obviously only die once. means that a lot of votes will be doubles and we dont die as mankind completely. Also naming someone like trump or hillary would be an easy way out for you to not feel guilty as they would propably be named by at least one other person.

Now for the questions:

do you think you would survive ?
how big a percentage of people world wide would survive ?
would you write down a celebrity name then tell us, or someone only you know ?

I hope not, because if I did the right moral thing I would not write anyone's name down.
