Would you eat a ghost pepper for a prize? - Dan Kwartler

Welcome to Risky Business, the game where we find out how far you’ll go to win a mystery prize!

I’m your host, Will Baywontbay, and today’s contestants are 21-year-old Imani, 16-year-old Johann, and 12-year-old Rachel.

Our first challenge is simple: will you eat the cookie on your podium?

Two of you have sugar cookies, but one was made with painfully spicy ghost peppers.

As a reminder, our players aren’t influenced by seeking audience approval since Risky Business never gets televised!

And that’s risky. Now let’s see what Predicto-Bot 9000 thinks our contestants will do.

Like most daily choices, this challenge involves weighing risks against rewards.

But since our grand prize is a mystery, the contestants don’t know half of this equation.

People are usually opposed to taking risks for uncertain rewards.
