Or you know, you could just donate money to Doctors Without Borders as well. Buying a laptop isn't going to suddenly make the charity go away.

If one suffers, all must suffer. Now go paddle yourself until you feel bad about your existence.

I also don't think Hawk realized there has been millions of dollars raised for Doctors Without Borders. Games Done Quick do charity events for them.

Part One

100 children have dysentery. After three days if no cure is offered a child with dysentery will die from dehydration and malnutrition brought on by chronic diarrhea. It costs $5 to put together a solution that will cure one child. A doctor has $20 worth of medicine and there’s no other medical help available. Which statement is true?

A) All the children will die from dysentery.
B) All the children will survive.
C) Four (4) children will live and ninety-six (96) will die.
D) Ninety-six (96) children will live and four (4) children will die.

Spoiler for answer:
C


Part Two

The following week Kiiii donates $500 dollars that is guaranteed to be invested in the cure for dysentery. This time the doctor has $500 worth of the cure (thanks to Kiiii) and again finds 100 children with dysentery. How many children die this time?

A) All of them
B) Half of them
C) None of them
D) Two of them

Spoiler for answer:
C


Part Three

Oh ****. Kiiii actually bought a new laptop instead of making the donation. How much less money does the doctor have for the cure now?

A) $5
B) $50
C) $500
D) $500

Spoiler for answer:
C
