Might as well ask Lemmy how to pass the Kobayashi Maru test, while you're at it.

[–] Im_old@lemmy.world 31 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Might be a tricky example. The answer to that according to a certain cadet is to cheat. Not sure gf would appreciate that.

I always liked Calhoun's solution. Obliterate the Maru. It's either a trap or it's not. If it is, you don't want to leave it there for someone else to fall for. If it's not, you don't want to leave it there to cause a diplomatic incident, and fiery plasma death is probably better than whatever the Klingons / Romulans would do to the crew.

Of course, I don't recommended launching a full spread of photon torpedoes at your gf.

The Calhoun solution? Throw a bald cancerous kid in the simulator?

If done successfully she'll never know

Understand the deeper meaning of the situation and what they are actually looking for?

You know what, other poster that recommendations cheating may be easier.

Edit: or is this a helplessness, try anyway deal??
