Are two dumb people worth one smart one?

You can save either the guy with IQ 180 or two slightly below average IQ 90 and IQ 95. You press a switch either/or dies?

No, they are worth the square root of a smart person...

Intelligence is no indication of worth. If you were the one with an IQ of 180 I'd have no difficulty in determining which way to decide.

Who is this "you" you speak of, Kemosabe?

Often intelligent people lack taste, and make poor eating.
I'd rather take the dummies.

As this is for serious discussion, I'll give a serious answer.

Save the ones with tits, of course.

I'd kill the genius, then I'd be the smartest person around. In the kingdom of the blind like.

Their kids could be geniuses if they are dumb on account of environment mostly. Same conclusion, different Kingdom.

Who will dig the ditches? You will need one guy with IQ 105 if there is no supervisor.

The 95 guys will dig the wrong ditch.

If they dig the wrong ditch they can try again tomorrow.

You need at least a Gamma to supervise the Epsilon Minus sub-morons.

I'd say in a situation where you are starving and needed protein 2 long pigs are preferable and if dumb likely easier to dispatch

What happens if we don't choose? All three die?

Yes, that is what will happen. It will also happen if you do choose.
