Interesting, I chose the kid, jerk or not. The Hiroshima thing didn't enter into it.
I guess presumably the old man would die from the train (hopefully quickly and relatively painlessly.
The Hiroshima thing just reinforced my decision. If the kid is truly "that bad", then he will get his either by being vaporized or suffering through the aftermath of the bomb.
If I were an anti-war guy, I guess I would have saved the old guy (presumably to old to serve in the army) to prevent another kid from going into their army and thus potentially saving countless more lives.
Talking to the kid is weird. I don't see the point. We're not judge and jury here, we just have a little opportunity to save another human being. In that case, rational choice seems to be prudent. Therefore, it makes the most sense to save the one who has either the best odds of survival or best potential in life.
