Personnaly, some answers were swayed by thinking about these legal consequences for situations like:

- Annoying the driver of the trolley for my enjoyment

- A 50% chance of killing 2 people or a 10% chance of killing 10 people

- Killing 5 people now or 5 people in the future

- Killing 1 cat or 5 lobsters

I chose to annoy the driver because the prompt already told me that I wanted to do it.

I chose that I had free will and my decision wasn't predetermined, and I used that free will to not annoy the driver.
