I've never understood why people have such a hard time with the trolley problem. Obviously, if you pre-emptively move that lone guy over to the rail with the five, you can hit all six at once to maximize your score. Just requires a bit of setup.

Simply hit all six with multi track drifting

Y'all kids and your speedrun strats. Some of us have poor reaction time and need to perform safety setups.

That's exactly what I think would happen with the derailing technique described here. Plus you might lose A couple in the trolley as well.

Or just do whatever you feel like in the moment and then jump in front of the trolley to escape all consequences.

Well sure Batman can beat the trolley problem with prep time.
