1. A free night at a hotel
2. $100 gift certicicate
3. 3 full tanks of gas

Are we supposed to give an answer why we chose the one we picked?

I choose 3 full tanks of gas as that would be about $130 for me.

The choices are

1. A free night at a hotel
2. $100 gift certicicate
3. A paid holiday from work

When you forst opened it, there appeared to only be a lump of coal in it. But you decided to take it to a good frind of yours that was a geologist and found out in reality is was a diamond worth $500,000. Great Choice!!!! OK, we all know that would never happen, but this is a fun "what if" thread
