This teacher's cruel exam question is wrecking the internet's head
AN EXAM QUESTION set by Professor Dylan Selterman at the University of Maryland is going viral for being such a massive conundrum.
One of his students posted the question on Twitter and it was retweeted by thousands of baffled readers.
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
It reads:
The internet had some answers

In an interview with ABC, Selterman told them he sets such a tragedy of the commons question for his students every year, and aims to discover if the students will pick the greater good over their own self interest.
He said only one class have been selfless so far, and almost always, 10 percent of the class choose six and everyone loses.
So, be honest, what would you pick?
