The Delete Button

Do you use your only rewind to undo the scratch?

The Delete Button

You are backing out of a parking spot and accidentally scrape the side of a beautiful sports car. It leaves a massive deep scratch. No one saw you do it. There are no cameras. You happen to have a prototype device that can rewind time by exactly five minutes, but you can only use it once in your entire life.

Do you use your only rewind to undo the scratch?

Then ask

  • Are you saving the rewind for a car crash or a medical emergency?
  • Do you leave a note with your phone number on the sports car?
  • How much money would it take for you to drive away without a word?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
