There is a button

Lots of great relies in this thread; though we are at a point in our lives were money is no longer a deciding factor for us so the answer is zero.
 
Hot glue a stick to a subwoofer and put it near the button and let Howard Stern do his thing.

Zero. I could definitely use the money these days but it's not enough for the risk involved. I'm only 45 and in relatively good health.
 
Yup, because you can only die once. If you die from the first press the next 9 presses carry no additional risk.

For each press the chance of death needs to be modified by the probability you haven't already died from the previous presses.

So 1% + 0.99x1% + 0.99x0.99x1% + 0.99x0.99x0.99x1% +... etc...

The fact that I started to actually bother to work that out in full just reinforces my feeling that I might well press the button even if there wasn't any reward on offer.

can we Monty Hall this thing and add two more buttons? (One button wins a goat)
 
Instant vaporization.

What if it was a 1% chance a random person on earth would die instead of yourself? Would that change your answer?

Can I pick and choose who the random person would be...or at least from which country/region? Either way...I'd be all rat-a-tat-a-tat on that mofo...make the Vulcan mini-gun seem like an ancient 6-shooter...

Random, it doesn't mean what you think it means.
 


Apparently I have gotten old, I now average 9.5-9.8CPS
Can only break 10-11CPS a couple times if I try really hard.
I start to cramp/hurt quickly, then I can dip as low as 7.5CPS.

Hard to recall, but I'm pretty sure I used to be able to do 12CPS regularly.
One issues is that it's harder now to hold the mouse steady while rapid clicking.

I guess I kind of cheated - I was using both index fingers on my laptop.
