Imagine you are in a competition with 20 other people. Everyone starts out with a different number of basketballs in their container. The goal of the competition is to either have 8 OR 0 basketballs in your container by the end of 20 minutes. The prize is $1,000,000. When the timer starts you notice that you have only 1 basketball in your container to start. Which would be easier?

a) Giving away your 1 basketball so that you have 0 at the end of 20 minutes? OR

b) Trying to get 7 more basketballs so that you have 8 at the end of 20 minutes? Why did you choose this option?
