a cab.
You and your 2 roommates are going to the bars to meet up with the rest of your group of friends (group of 9 people total)
You and you alone answer every question correctly winning the trio 3000 dollars.
What happens with the winnings?
This question was brought up by my roommate and I was shocked by his answer.

If you answered 5, another guy answered 3 and another answered 1, what would you do?
4,4,1?
4,3,2?
My answer for all of these is split 1:1:1, because in the 432 case i would do that, the 441 case i would, and so i feel obligated to be consistent and not base it on who answered what. also not splitting will kill the relationship with the roomies.

I felt like it was a clear case of 'drinks are on us' whatever is left over, we can deal with it then.
Honestly, even answering all the questions correctly doesn't mean you *earned* anything. I mean, what if person B flags down that specific cab? Can't win the money if the guy didn't put us in that cab.
I also feel like the cash is as much the friends we're meeting as it is mine that night.
If we walk out of the bar with like 2500 bucks after an incredible night, I would honestly push for a "bar fund" when the trio goes out again, the tab will be drawn against this stash.
My roommate said he would argue that all the money should go to the guy that answered all the questions and if he feels like splitting it, that's his option. The other two, in his opinion, should feel obligated to forfeit their shares since they answer no questions right. He also feels it's dumb to make a bar fund since that implies that the group we always drink with gets an equal share of the winnings.
I think it's crazy to treat this as anything other than an unearned win-fall and even cutting the other bar-friends in on it is banking good karma and building better friendships.

I would split it evenly between the three of us. But I would strongly recommend that we each pocket like $750 and each blow the rest of the remaining money amongst the 9 of us at the bar.
a few years ago, i would have tried to keep as much as possible. Depends on your situation.

yeah, for sure it's 1k each. As far as the bar tab I'd hope the other two would agree to split it, but people are douchebags in situations like that, so I wouldn't expect it and would just put in what I figured was a fair amount.

if they didn't try and put it all on you then I feel you are entitled to more than them, not sure about the numbers, perhaps 2k for you/me and 500 each for them plus you pick up the tab

cmon it's a freakin game show that you walked into on a cab while going out to have a good time, just split the money. it's silly, esp if you were to then say things like "well i answered 5, he answered 1, and he answered 4, so we should split it $1500, $300, $1200"

yah, honestly a 1k split every way is the only way (assuming you're not going to go with my baller 3k bar stash idea). You freaking lucked into 3k, just pretend you each lucked into 1k and who cares how it happened? Besides, they'll bow down to how you answered every question and you'll be on cloud 9 all night at the bar. Answering 10 questions is not worth 3k anyway. Not even worth 1k so I don't see how you could possibly feel otherwise.

I'd take 10 bucks, 10,000 bucks, 10 million bucks. Whatever amount he gives me for answering 10 questions.

Clearly split 3 ways, minus some solid amount for the night's 9 person beer tab.
It doesn't really matter that you got all the questions right, the three of you were selected to participate as a team.

split it three ways, get real drunk and throw a lot of money around that night, and have a good time.
then mug your drunk friends on the way home and take your rightful share.

I cannot believe everyone is splitting it if the other two didn't even answer a question, all they did was sit there and watch you win them $1000?
Craziness, at the very least they should offer you more money, that to me would be enough, and then I might split it.

o god i would definitely want almost all of it and it doesnt even seem close even though i probably already have 100x as much money as the friends im with. if i beat the game and they arent of any assistance then they dont get any of the gold. when we get to the bar ill be feeding them plenty of drinks like always but they dont deserve to keep any of the prize for their personal use.

My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

seriously split it three ways and buy drinks at the bar or have your buddies buy drinks at the bar for you since you one them some money. If it's between friends everyone can buy something nice for 1k. I say split it 3 ways and if your roommates want to buy drinks since you answered the questions go for it. If they don't want to spend any of it pay for everyones drinks yourself.

What if one simply claims he knew some of the answers as well, citing his "yah, that's right!" comments from the back seat?
Another great point was made that when you get into the cab, you're picked to participate as a team. You don't need to hit any buzzer to answer any questions fastest, you have the option to consult the rest of your team, and if your buddy gets 3 questions wrong, all 3 get kicked out of the cab in spite of your performance.
Another great point was the questions could have easily been about changing tires for 40 hrs a day, and you'd be sitting comfortably while your buddy ran up a 3k score.
Attempting to pocket any more than 1k makes you an asshole imho.

I totally agree with nuts. If I wasn't able to answer any questions and my buddy answered them all I would feel like a total douche taking even 1c from him. Similarly if either of my friends felt they deserved 1c I would be pissed at them (whether or not I would voice my feelings or how strong they would be depends on a bunch of other factors). I would definitely offer up a portion of the money to ensure that everyone has a good night out (all 9 people) but the person who feels they have a right to the money after doing nothing to help obtain it is the asshole imo.

I'm having a real hard time reconciling this idea that you did anything to earn this money either. Rewording it, "obtaining it" doesn't work.
The 3 of you were given an opportunity to win money equally, though you over preformed, it should be considered a team win.
edit: also, the question is asked from the point of view that you were the one that over preformed not one of the 0 answer beggars.
I guess it boils down to, if i win it, splitting 1k each is the minimum option and I feel like it's not even close. For other people to try to pocket extra money makes me feel angle-shot in some way.

This.
Before the game started did you run through the scenario's of how payment would be split based on answers given? I am guessing not. Did you know that your two buddies were illiterate and couldn't answer any of the questions? Prolly not.
Also, it's not like you invested any money to get this so consider it a windfall.
Personally I would have thrown out some trash talking comment like "nice answers dudes - NOT!!!! How do you want to split this up?" If they say split it three ways I do that because friends are worth way more than the money that is at stake. I also probably would have recommended picking up the bar tab for the group that night.

You can't just spend it all at the bar that night.
The money is fake, they ship you a check after.
Plus, what if the dude who got all the questions right was invited by someone else in the group, they could take credit for getting into the cab etc..chance/luck
Split it 3 ways and make the 2 others feel guilty/dumb forever LDO.
I need to get in this cab, I get like all the Qs correct.

I think you should offer to split, bros before 0s. Probably cool friends will decline. Money should be used for a cool vacation/party/TV type thing you could all enjoy either way, putting it in the bank or at the grocery seems like spitting in the face of your luck odds.

i would split the monies up equally..you went in as a team you went out as a team. they dont just kick one or two persons out, they kick you all out if you answer wrong three times...but i would make the other two give me some of it to make an investment for later on in life b/c i said so.
