No moral dilemma .
Why ?
Because a) the person is eccentric ( he probably loves this sort of thing , and is getting some sort of perverse kick out of it anyway )
b) he/she is a billionaire , so in their eccentric little way , they are giving back to the community .
c) a fool and their money are soon parted
d) they are not certifiably insane , just eccentric , so i wouldn't be exploiting them.
e) i was feeling fine at midnight , but awoke with a slight tummy upset , and my doctor advised me it would be unwise to ingest any poison .
f) in fact the doctor suggested that if i drank it at any time i could possibly die
g) i have the doctor's certificate and everything

oh and f) it would teach the silly duffer a lesson in reality !
I'd agree with most of that, I'd like to see the doctors certificate though
But I think the idea of not and saying you did is a good one. I still think this is a little easy so how about now the situation is the person in question only has 1.5 million. Sanity of said person aside, would you now feel more obliged to drink it?

WHERE IS THE PUZZLE?

Intention.. Change.. Drink
y............ n............ y = Good.
y............ y............ n = Good. To others it looks like a lie others
y............ y............ y = Good, but gutless and someone forced forced you to drink
y............ n............ n = Good , so you must have had a reasonable excuse but, it looks like a lie others
n............ y............ y = Liar, but conscience took over
n............ y............ n = Liar, conscience took over, but too gutless and changed again
n............ n............ n = Liar, filthy liar
n............ n............ y = Liar, Someone forced forced you

Why could it be argued that it is fundamentally hypocritical to be BOTH; pro- abortion AND anti- drug decriminalisation ?
