Algebra question?

Here's the question:

An opera house is planning to put on a performance and wants to determine its ticket prices. The theater has an orchestra section that holds 550 people, a mezzazine section that holds 140 people, and a balcony that holds 275 people. If they want a balcony seat to cost 20% less than a mezzanine seat, an orchestra seat to cost $5 more than a mezzanine seat, and a full house to bring in $16,400, how much should they charge for each type of seat?

This is what i have so far

x= orchestra seats

y = mezzanine seats

z = balcony seats

550x + 140y + 275z = 16,400

I guess i need two more equations, and this is what i have

z = y - .20

x = y + 5

Is this right? Or am I missing something else? If I do need another equation, what would it be? I plugged these two in, but it did not come out right. Thanks for your time

Algebra question?mr messed up

Here are my equations

550x+140y+275z = 16400

x = 5+y

z = 0.8y

This solves to x = 20, y = 15, z = 12

Tell me if this is funny?

Annoying Things To Do At A Drive Through Window

? Specify that this order is "To Go".

? Drive through the drive in backwards and let your rear seat passenger make the order.

? At midnight, ask if you are too early for Breakfast.

? When Ordering, start talking about the problems you were having with your car. Ask if somebody can take a look at it.

? Pay for a large order in pennies and nickels unwrapped.

? Laugh loudly when asked if you would like fries with your order.

? Demand to speak to the manager. When he comes on, complain that you did not like the way the employee said "Would you like fries with your order?"

? When asked if they can take your order, tell them you are just looking and drive off.

? Tell them you have to use the bathroom - Don't Order anything.

? Order a hamburger, no bun with two ketchup sachets - Thats all.

? Just stare at them when you pay and get your food. Don't break your stare and say " I know what you did to my food ! ".

? When they hand you your food, hand them a bag back with all the rubbish from your car in it.

Honk your horn the whole way through the line.

? When they come on the intercom, say "Sorry, I'm not here at the moment, please leave me a message".

? Pretend like your window is broken. Tell the employee this. Order with your door open, pay with your door open. Roll down window and take food through the window.

? Stand close to the speaker and yell your order, using colorful expletives in ways which would embarrass the patrons inside.

? After ordering, cover the speaker and mic with transparent tape. Watch as customers and order-takers are unable to hear each other and, thus, each raises his/her volume.

? Speak a foreign language (make one up if you have to). When the manager comes to the mic, speak English and inquire as to why the order taker had such difficulty understanding you.

? Attempt to take the order-takers order ("Hi, may I take your order?") before they get a chance to take yours.

? Order confusing items, i.e., "Hi, I'll have a large orange Coke and a small medium fries, please."

? In a crowded drive-thru line, place a HUGE order, then slip out of line and watch the fun as the person behind you is handed 40 bags of food.

? When you arrive at the window to pick up your food, hand them several bags of garbage and ask if they'll dispose of it for you. Make sure it smells.

? Drive through with a car load of naked people.

? Speak in such a garbled fashion that the order-taker will think there is a problem with the speaker and ask you to order at the window. When you arrive at the window, speak in the same garbled, incomprehensible fashion.

? Drive through with someone on the hood to accept the food.

? Bring along a Mr. Microphone. When the order-taker speaks, aim the mic at their speaker but do so while aiming the Mr. Microphone speaker at the mic to produce excruciating feedback of their own voice.

? Have a friend hide in the trunk. When you approach the window to pickup your order, have him start yelling and banging his fists on the trunk.

? If you are a male, have a female friend place the order by speaking VERY seductively and suggestively into the speaker. When she finishes, have her hide and pull up to accept your order. See how many of the order-takers fellow employees have been called over to the window to "check out the babe."

? All of the above work very well when done at the late night pick up window.

Say "Shhhhh" every 5 minutes.

Pass by a room that鈥檚 showing

Tell me if this is funny?tickets

i laughed my a** off and so did my b/f where did you come up with that stuff

Tell me if this is funny?ballet opera theater

i read some of it and yes it was funny
$#@%! You wrote all that!?

You know what,let me ask YOU the question.

How long did it take you to write all that?
Well....it was definitely long
To make there jobs harder is not right, it is wrong. Don't want to see you at the movies, either. It is just plain wrong. But maybe, when you get older, you will grow out of it.
That takes too much energy to do. Reading it was exhausting in itself. Nah don't think I'd try that. I like my freedom and I wouldn't want to give it up to be in a cell with a girl named tough Bertha.
My BF %26amp; I laughed our t*ts off at the drive thru, but I couldnt even read the movie one. Its WRONG to be IGNORANT at a MOVIE
33% funny, 6% hilarious, 47% not so funny, 11% mean and cruel, and 3% nonsense. Thanks for wasting 10 miutes of my life.
Looking for lotsa attention, eh?
CONGRATULATIONS!! You won the award for first yahoo-er to use 1000/1000 character's when posting a question!!

GEEZ...
hilarious
no
you expect me to read all that ****?
hilarious

gonna use a few

love the order and slip out of line one
The drive-thru ones were pretty clever, but the movie oens are plain rude. The difference is that people at fast food places are PAID top deal with you, while people at the movies PAID to be there. If you tried any of that crap in a movie I went to, I would aks to have you removed, or to have my money back and speak to the manager about their refusal to deal with the issue.

In other words, try the fast food stuff (I used to laugh about that sorta stuff back when I worked fast food decades ago). Don't do the movie stuff. I have actually had to ask theaters to remove people before and they did, with no money back to them.

Oh, another good thing is to try to mess with toll collectors. Pretent to speak some foreign language and try to get a receipt, without using any English words. I got a list of those as well.
it is funny but too long
it was funny for the first 15 than i realized i was going to be here for a while reading them so i stopped
A good one, thanks for the laugh
let me guess

yeah, pretty funny

What get's you to go see a play?

A friend of mine and I were discussing how despite great press, his theater company is having a difficult time getting people in the seats. They have won awards from the LA Drama Critics Circle and receive great reviews in all the major local papers. I don't really want to say much more about the company because I just want intuitve answers. We have our theories, but I'm just curious, what gets YOU to decide to go see a specific play?

What get's you to go see a play?comedy club

Personally it has to do with finances for our family. There are four of us who all love theatre and with the prices they charge anymore we just can't do it that often. It has to be a show that appeals to all of us for us to be willing to do it. Hubby and I did go see Curtains on a 'date night' without the kids and they pitched a fit that they didn't get to go (ok, it was just the teenager!) Sometimes we try for the lottery, but we haven't gotten lucky yet! It money were no object, I'd see everything!

What get's you to go see a play?sheet music opera theater

i hate theatres.
Hmmm...lots of different things. It depends on everything down to convience, ticket prices, how far away the theater is, the cast etc. I, personally, like to stay in my little local area, so I would generally go see a local play, highschool play or something like that rather than travel to larger theaters to see headlines. Then it becomes an "event" with some planning...however as I said before it depends on the show and the cast. I have also noticed that a lot of times, theaters don't have good parking, so it is always a hassle finding a parking spot, remembering where it is, walking a mile to the theater in heels...you get the picture. But this is just me personally, I love theater, there is nothing like it! I have noticed that other young adults have not necessarily been introduced to good theater and as a consequence don't know what it is like and cannot appreciate it. They have seen Les Mis the movie but completely miss out on the passion that comes through the music and songs etc. I think it is more of an education and generation thing. And movie theaters are generally cheaper and more convienent. Sad times. Good luck finding your answer!
If its Shakespeare, particularly not Hamlet or Midsummer's Nights Dream, then I go see it.

Also, if the theater is outside then I'll go see it.

I love theater.
Generally, I'm attracted to either:

1) Specific plays/authors that interest me; or

2) Theatre companies with which I have prior experience. Once I know that a company delivers the goods on a regular basis, I'll see as many shows there as I possibly can.
If I like what the synopsis of the play suggests that the play is about.

What is the cause of restless legs and the cure?

Sometimes at night or at other times my legs and calves feel very restless and it feels like I have to keep moving, kicking, or walking around. This feeling is annoying and uncomfortable. Sometimes I get it when I'm in a movie theater and I don't want to excuse myself from the seat but its almost unbearable to not stand up and walk around. Anyone know the cause or cure for this?

What is the cause of restless legs and the cure?concerts

This mostly happens when your muscle's are very tired, and the blood does not flow well. Try to put your legs up and massage them. Magnesium is very important for muscles so I would suggest to take some in form of capsules every day.

What is the cause of restless legs and the cure?headache opera theaterwhat you have is restless leg syndrome. It is sometimes runs in famlies. There is no cure but there are some drugs that will give relief. Requip, Klonopin, and mirapex are three. Be aware that a sometimes side effect of mirapex are compulsive actions (addiction to gambling or sex). Report It


My wife has suffered from this and it was especially bad when she was pregnant with our first child. Every doctors we talked to was basically clueless.

The research we did (on the internet) explained a nervous system problem. Either a pinch disk in your spine or other pinching of a nerve can cause these symptoms. Other reasons are a chemical imbalance in the brain, which led us to finally ask several holistic or herbal doctors and they both suggested the herb GABA prior to bed time. This seemed to work like a charm for my wife. That does not mean it will work for everyone, but it is safe enough to try.

Best wishes.
no.....but if you have rls they have meds , i guess ya should go and see the doc.......my aunt has that.....i hope i dont get it........yukkk
I am not sure if there is a cure but the Dr can give you something to help you. I have had it a few times but it eventually goes away. My episodes happen at night when I am trying to go to sleep. I have to get up and walk.
Stop spreading your legs and stay off your back.
It's actually a major medical problem called RLS (restless leg syndrome), its not known exactly why it happens... now there is a medication for this, it commercials on tv, go to your doctor ... and ask for it
You know, its hard to tell if you really have it or not, I have a similar problem like I feel the need to constantly shake my foot or move my legs when I'm sitting down, and I most always prefer to stand than to sit. And the symptoms are described as having a pain of some sort in your legs which is what causes you to move them to aliviate it, I don't feel a pain, what I feel on occassion is a like muscle cramp, but I don't feel it all the time and I always keep moving my legs so it's hard to tell. I've never been to the doc about it, cuz I've gotten use to it. It drives my husband crazy though. Check out this site, it may give you some good info.

Good luck!

Is This A good Halloween Story?

Halloweentown was busy this time of year. They were setting up for the biggest Holiday of the year, Halloween. The town cleaners polished the town Jack o’ Lantern and shop owners were setting there best items for sale in the shop windows. The witches got ready to make batches of the there best potions to hand out to dinner guests, goblins and goblets began to carve jack o’ lanterns to light on the front steps to there Haunted houses. Vampires brushed there red velvet capes off and the were wolves prepared their best howls to the moon. Every thing was perfect and ready but behind all the happiness was a very evil person ready to ruin the holiday for everyone forever. The person the most excited was Maggie the head witch. She was 489 years old and had two mortal granddaughters, Sophie and Ally. Both were witches themselves but lived in San Jose California with there mother to live a normal life. But every year they visited there grandmother for Halloween since, they loved all the colors and magic this time of year in Halloweentown. “Good morning Maggie you seem awfully cheerful today.” Maggie gave Gretchen her biggest smile. “Yes I am. It happens my granddaughters are coming for a visit!” She whistled as she walked towards town square. Sophie and Ally would be arriving shortly and she could hardly wait, just than she heard a loud roar. The bus was here! The yellow schools bus burst out of the sky a trail of vibrant colors twirling behind. It slowly came to a stop beside the sidewalk. First the headless mail man, than the troll doll Susie, the giant witch wart Harry and finally Sophie and Ally. “My girls!” Maggie yelled collected each into a monster hug. “It’s so good to see you! Look at you girls, you becoming such beautiful young ladies.” Ally chuckled. “Were happy to see you to grandma, now I’ve been DIEING for some of those Haunting Home made Candy Corn of yours.” Sophie smiled “Yeah!”

“Okay girls now, I’ll need one ghosts drop of sweat, a were wolves piece of clothing, a pumpkin head seed, a Frankenstein stitch, a vampires tooth oh and some honey!” The girls smiled at each other, good old Grandma. “But Grandma,” Sophie asked across of the caldron, “How do we know where and how to get them?” Ally looked curios to. “Oh yes I nearly forgot!” She chuckled and went to the closet across of the kitchen, “Here is my magic book of spells.” She handed it to Ally with great pride. “Wow Gran, this is really cool.” Ally began to gently flip threw the delicate pages. “Yes it was passes down to my by my great, great, great, great, grandmother.” She smiled a sweet kid-like smile and patted the book. “Now you should be off than, there's lots of work to do.” Maggie said waving them off threw the door.

“Okay Soph, come on!” Ally grabbed her hand and the tip-toed into the Dentist Office. The two headed lady was to busy babbling away into the phone and typing on the computer to notice the two crawling past the desk into the Dentist room. “Okay open wide!” The dentist said. Than quickly he pulled the tooth out of put it in a tin beside him. Ally picked it up and tip-toed out. “Okay Soph one down, one to go.” Ally ran her finger down the page, “hmm next is a pumpkin head seed.” The thought for a moment than realized the perfect place. “To the pumpkin patch!” They yelled at the same time. Quickly they whistled to catch a cab. A yellow car screeched at there feet, “At your service!” The driver said. Ally and Sophie looked at each other, this isn’t any ordinary driver, he didn’t have eyes, or skin, he was a Skelton! Either way they needed to get there. Quickly the slid into the brown seats, “We need to go to the Pumpkin Patch.” Ally told the driver he laughed. “Yes ma’am!” He looked back, “You’re Maggie’s granddaughters right?” He asked as he drove quickly. “Yes,” Ally said sliding to one side as he turned a sharp corner. “We are…how did you know?” Sophie was enjoying the ride. “Ah Mag talks about ya’ll for the longest time!” He suddenly stopped. “You’re here!” He parked infront of a small little wooden stand infront of dirt, plain dirt. “Are you sure it looks…bare.” He nodded. “I can wait if you want.” Sophie stepped in. “Yeah please do!” They timidly walked to the field. “Hello?” Ally asked as her words echoed threw the air. “Looks like no ones here.” Than POOF appeared Mr. Pumpkinhead himself. “Hello! What would you like a jack o’ lantern,” He snapped his fingers a pumpkin wit a human face appeared, “Or,” he snapped his fingers an orange light bulb in a pumpkin shape appeared. “A flashy pumpkin,” he snapped his fingers again, “or a original.” A perfect pumpkin appeared. “Actually…” Sophie said. “I want to show you a magic trick.” She went behind him and put a blind fold around his eye slits. “There's a quarter behind you’re…” She plopped off the little circle on his head and pulled out a gooey sticky seed. “HEY!” He yelled feeling his head. “Thanks!” they yelled over there shoulder and ran into the car. Gasping for air Ally said, “To the theater!” They arrived several minutes later to the old fashioned theater. “Thanks bud, if you don’t mind could you wait a little longer…” he laughed, “Not at all.” So they slid out and jogged towards the theater. “Tickets ma’am?” A teenage gremlin asked. Ally snapped her finger behind her back and handed the man two tickets. They tip-toed in the same way they had to the dentist office. The opera was going on, and there in the middle stage was the main charter ready to perform to main scene when the were wolf strips off his clothes. “AHHH!” he screamed, quickly they ran up and snatched a piece off the stage and ran out of the theater. “Got it!” Ally puffed once outside. “Where’s our cab?” Sophie whispered. “Don’t be stupid its right…” she looked right, and left, he was gone. “Hey well we didn’t have to pay, good thing I don’t want to use my magic to get money.” Ally was feeling pretty good until Sophie tugged on Ally’s shirt. “Well…” she whispered slowly. “I…I don’t have the book.” Ally looked as if her eyes popped out of her head. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON’T HAVE THE BOOK!” she shouted. Sophie shrugged. “I though you had it...” Ally took a few frustrated breath than asked through clenched teeth “That book has been around for 5670 years and YOU LOST IT!!” she screamed the last bit. “You didn’t get it either!” She protested. “Right, I know and it couldn’t have held to much information that’s important…it can be replaced.” Sophie nodded. “Right?”

“Here grandma, take a sip of this brew.” Maggie was seated at a wooden rocking chair feeling faint. “I…I don’t know what happened. The skeleton, and the opera, and the pumpkins…” she rambled. “The skeleton?” Maggie asked. “Yeah he drove us.” Sophie piped up. “OH NO!” she groaned. “There's only one skeleton around here, Arnold. Arnold is the dirtiest trickiest most evil of all Halloweentown. His always wanted my book and the dirty rat got it.” She sighed and shook her head. Ally shrugged. “You can get it back, and why does he want it so bad anyways?” she asked. Maggie sighed a loud sigh making Sophie feel terribly guilty. “Because, Arnold isn’t one of us. He was originally a child a LONG LONG time ago, nearly 2000 years ago.” Ally cut in. “When Halloweentown was first invented?”Maggie nodded. “A evil man had put a spell on Arnie. Turned him into his Halloween costume. The poor boy turned into a skeleton. Anyways it’s a long story but he has always wanted revenge. And now he can get it.” Sophie understood perfectly. “By turning everyone what there wearing that night into there actual Halloween costume!” Maggie nodded, “Now since the gap between both our world and the mortal world isn’t to far he will perform this task tomorrow.” Ally groaned plopping down on the couch. “Now, now there's time, there's three of us and one of him. We just have to work quickly. I do remember the spell it goes, Make the mortals into the creature they precise, a life of what they pretend is what they receive!” She chanted. “Now all we have to do is REVERSE that. Make these mortals what they truly are, from what they dress as if very far!” She snapped her fingers with a smile, “Perfect! Now lets all try it together,” They each held hands in a circle and began to chant, “Make these mortals what they truly are, from what they dress as if very far!” They repeated it louder and louder for 3 times. Maggie clapped. “Great! Now about that Candy corn…”

The next day they all sat around the table brainstorming ideas. “Why are we doing this the mortal way it’s so slow!” She looked at them. “No offense. All I mean is we could use the crystal ball!” She bent over and rummaged around in her crocodile bag. “AHA! Here it is. She slammed a large ball on the table. “You may go now.” The bag pooped out legs and arms than walked itself back in the closet. Maggie began to whisper a few things than a loud notice began to come from it. Ally and Sophie jumped. “GRANDMA WHAT WAS THAT!” The screeched startled them. “Oh it’s just printed off some directions.” She smiled. “Im hipper than you think.” She snatched up the directions. “Now I think I have a few brooms kicking around.” She opened a wooden closet next to the steps. The closet was HUGE! It was as big as a shopping store, much larger than her bottom level of her home. “Take your pick.” The gazed at the shiny, wooden electric small and massive brooms. Sophie picked an original a wooden one with straw at the back. Ally picked the most high tech broom you would ever see. It was shiny and silver with metal where the wicker should be. “Good picks. Now let’s go we have to get to your world.” She closed the door behind them locking it swiftly. “But grandma you can’t...I mean you’ve never…are you sure?” Ally asked. “Yes Im sure! Now we have three tickets to the Halloween Ball.” Ally snorted. “Well never get tickets its old out by mid night on November 1st!” Maggie chuckled. She showed them three tickets handed both one. She shut the door to the old wooden home. It looked much like a horror cottage with falling shingles and cracked windows than a kind ladies home but she WAS a witch, it’s like the pumpkin heads that live in Giant pumpkins and Vampires who live the red velvet coffins. So they jumped on there brooms and soared to the giant pumpkin in town square. “Grandma we are going to miss the bus!” Ally noted glaring at the residents boarding the bus. “Now, now calm down.” She shook her head. “We need to go RIGHT to that Halloween Ball.” Maggie dialed in a few numbers and the Giant jack o lanterns eyes opened! “Alright than, to 4019 Lust Lane in the mortal world hey?” Sophie giggled. They never knew he talked. “What ya waiting for than get in!” he opened his mouth. The girl waddled on there brooms. Once they stepped in the were twirling downwards in orange and black swirls, “GRANMA WHAT'S HAPPENING!” Sophie yelled. “NOW GIRLS HOLD ON AND ENJOY IT WHERE NEARLY THERE!”Candy corn, gum and sugar coated candy filled the swirls tempting them to let go and grab a hold of themselves. Than slowly the color faded, the smell of sugar faded, and than they were outside of a Large hotel. “Were hereee.” Maggie sang springing her arms out nearly whacking a young couple with her broom. “Come on girl we don’t have long!” They handed there tickets over to a large man in black and entered the large booming room of people and mortal music. “Wow this place is rocking!” Ally shouted over the music. Maggie clasped the girls hands in her own and dragged them off towards the step to a higher level, looking down, probably where engineers fix the lights. “Now girls Arnie will be a skeleton, just a plain skeleton. When the clock strikes midnight the spell will be done forever.” Sophie was tugging on her Grandmothers shirt. “Not now Sophie!” she snapped. “But grandma look!” she pointed to a skeleton on the roof rail. They ran up the steps, it was 11:58. “Not so fast Arnie.” He jumped around clutching the book tightly to himself. “Back off Maggie this has nothing to do with you, I’ve been waiting for this all my life, and thanks to your granddaughters it will finally come true.” He laughed evilly. “Not if we can help it!’ Maggie said running up the steps. He pointed a finger at her. “Boil and Bubble make this witched fall to stop her trouble!” Maggie thumped; Ally and Sophie rushed to her side. “Are you okay grandma!” Arnie didn’t seem to care, it was 11:59 there was 30 seconds left, he began the rehearse the poem. “You girls have to try, hurry!” She weakly told them. They held hands and ignored Arnie rehearsing his own poem. “Make these mortals what they truly are, from what they dress as if very far!” they shouted 3 times colors twirling around the crowd. Than the clocks arm struck 12:00 a.m. They looked down, “OH NO!” Sophie shouted. The crowd had turned into all different things, goblins, lolly pops, lemons and cheerleaders were amongst them/ Maggie than remembered. Slowly rising to her feet she joined the girl at the rails, “Evil, sweet, sour and girly.” She laughed. “They turned into what they really ARE and what they look is very far. Do you get it? Lemons are the sour people, lollypops the sweet mortals.” She sighed and shrugged. “It’s what they deserve.” Ally pushed her eyebrows together. “Is there any spell to reverse it?” Maggie shook her head, they are what they are. Arnie hadn’t changed a bit, they noticed as they looked to the left. “Why isn’t Arnie different?” Sophie asked. “Well he has no heart, his a skeleton!” The girls laughed. It was almost like living in there own Halloween town the rest of the year, it wasn’t the same without Maggie but it was funny watching the lemon’s waddle around and the girl girls having to cheer very single moment. So they didn’t ‘Save the day’ but they came close!

Is This A good Halloween Story?playhouse

I think its a fine story but I think if you made it you took the story from the Disney movie "Halloweentown",you also didn't make sense why they would need to go to the Dentist's office they didn't need any tooth at all?? another reason you stole it from the movie since in the movie they needed a Vampire's tooth to help save Halloweentown from the evil warlock Callabar they needed ingredients to give this light power, you have some of the same names of the characters like Maggie (the grandma) Sophie(the youngest) there was no Ally but there was a Marnie(oldest) and there was another sibling I can't think of his name but it was a boy (middle child) other than that I didn't read the whole thing but I could care less since you stole it anyway! Sorry I just realized you said it was from Halloweentown! but either way why make a story from it anyway if you are going to be a writer then why can't you think of stories yourself or are you just too lazy? good story but I don't like reading things that I already have heard of before but you do need to make more sense THEY DIDN'T NEED TO GO TO THE DENTISTS 4 ANYTHING!

how did you do that?? the limit is 1000 characters
this is like a whole book on yahoo answer
too lazy to even read all of that sry no question to answeer
You need to review that line by line. There are several instances of using "to" where it should be "too", "there" instead of "their", and there are missing punctuation marks, new sentences started where a comma should've been used instead, and lots of other little mishaps. IF you are reading the story, those things detract from it in a big way.

EDIT- oh, and I just saw a "than" where it should be "then".
well i liked it but it was kind of coping the halloweentown movie. but you could do it as a kids story since it is not as long as big books and the little kids have never just read the book halloweentown before.

***Here is another role-play question. How will you answer?

You are 18. You are in a dark, crowded movie theater with 2 friends. You came late. The theater was giving away free popcorn. You came to late to get some. It is so croweded all of the seats are filled. You have to sit on the floor and watch the movie. This is said to be the best movie within the past decade. As the movie comes on, the theater's screen turns black. There is silent through out the audience. The screen flashes back on. A gun fires. Everyone screams and hides under there seats. The screen reads " Now that we have confirmed that everyone has had some popcorn, we are happy to inform you that the popcorn was filled with a formula that will make you sleep. By the way, you won't wake up!" Everyone but you and your friends fall asleep. You and your 2 friends are relieved that you didn't get the free popcorn sample. You run to the door and it is locked. A ticking sphere lowers from the ceiling until it is on the floor.

I would pull the wire. Life is fleeting anyway. To endure the rest of my life knowing that I let all of those people die would be awful.

First choice. I'm no effing hero!
I would choose the option that you didn't give, pull the wire on the bomb KNOWING that there couldn't be enough current running to the bomb to kill me. I mean really even 220 doesn't have the amps to kill and any device you would hook up to it, i.e. The Bomb, would fry and be useless if it had enough amps to kill.

Oh and another thing, if your going to die from electrical shock it would take less than 30 seconds, after that you would be unable to stand and drop to the floor and detach yourself.

Really lame scenario though.
See you guys later. :)
considering the fact that many of those things would never actually happen and the fact that those still in the theater are dead basically id leave, no point in saving dead people
My next move is eat my popcorn while looking at you with one eyebrow raised and saying, "Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude."
At first I was going to say, that I would have no idea what I would do in that situation, but then you threw in the stray bullets that shot my two friends. That lead me to the instant conclusion that the perpetrators can't be trusted to let me out free, so I might as well risk it with the bomb.
I forgot my choices and I'm deeply confused and shocked...I think I just want to get out but I want to save everybody too!
Screw the people that are sleeping and take your friends and get the hell out of there. Then if my friends died, I would get myself out of there. If the people that are sleeping won't wake up anyway, then why should I try to save them if it means that I'd die.
I want to say that i would help the others but there wouldnt be any point. everyone will be dead. so i would save myself and get the flip out of there!
if we hadn't already tryed the fire escape I think when my friends were shot I would sacrifice my life for the others
I would get out and then call tha cops.

or choice 1.

there are loopholes in everything, even the law
I would quickly find something rubber (flexible shoe, those silly bracelets that are so popular, etc.) and use that to insulate me from the shock as I disarm the bomb. That way, everybody wins!
Change channels and watch a different movie!
Well- actually I think I'll run outside. But I can guarantee that I will feel guilty about it for the rest of my life. So that's not fun either, but I guess that would be my punishment for being selfish. Hmm, don't know... tough questions. I'd probably choose to die to save the others either. Okay, HONESTLY, I don't know what I'll end up doing until this happens to me.
This sounds like saw. I would know how to grab a wire without it holding me for 5 minutes. When shocked your muscles tighten, so you must use an odd grip on it. I would not go to a late night movie for popcorn.

i would go with #2

Here is another role-play question. How will you answer?binoculars opera theater

one. it's an easy choice
Well, guess I'll never get my name in the Bruce Willis' Hall of Fame, but I'd get the h*ll out. With my friends dead, I don't feel obliged to sacrifice my precious self for a crowd of strangers. Sorry, That's who I am :)
? That a hard one
number 2... i would sacrafice myself for others..
