Experimental Manuscript
M10-III10.03-SUSS-FEHB-06A374

Origin
Based on the following assumption, that is, suppose in a specific context, you can take a stack of 10,000 MPCs from someone and be almost 100% sure that after you take it, there will be no bad consequences for you and no one will know you did it, so would you take that stack of money?

Method
Based on the "Equation of Benefits" model, stated as follows:
"The sum of human motivations in decision making and action will be balanced on a 'benefit equation' instinctively and reflexively rather than rationally. This equation will balance the pros and cons based on subjective motivations such as information, feelings, emotions, etc. to objective motivations such as the environment, social norms, expectations of others, etc. all within the scope of the decision-making time so that people make decisions with the EXPECTATION that the decision will bring the highest benefit to themselves in the present and the near and far future in terms of material and emotional aspects. The concept of 'benefit' here does not necessarily mean beneficial to survival but can have a broader meaning such as satisfying a certain temporary emotion."

Objective and Process
The experiment was conducted at night, when the public bus had only one target passenger. The objective of the experiment was as follows, when the bus had only 3 people, 2 of whom, including the driver and the rich passenger, were from the organizers, the remaining passenger would be the target. The rich passenger would pretend to brag and call to talk about his million income and say that tonight he wanted to go out for a little entertainment just because the driver had an accident and his car broke down, so he had to take the bus today. Then when the rich passenger arrived at the station, the rich passenger gave the driver a tip of 1,000 MPCs and said that it was a small matter for him and that he respected people who did not mind the late night to serve the community like the driver. However, before that, near the passenger's location target, out of sight of the driver, he deliberately dropped a stack of 100 notes of 100 MPCs, which means 10,000 MPC, and the final target watched the reaction of that passenger, because in this context, if 10,000 MPCs was lost, it seemed that the millionaire would not be affected much, besides, the driver was not seeing, and there was no camera in the car, if the target passenger took it, no one would know.

Result
Because they tried too hard to stick to the assumption in the origin to the point of being somewhat mechanical and inflexible, even though the way to conduct the experiment was very difficult, they still kept it the same and did it that way, so in the end they only succeeded with 10 people and therefore were considered a failure. However, the result is still worth pondering and suggesting, let's take a look even though the 10 results obtained are only a minority. Among them, 3 people immediately shouted to the rich passenger that he dropped the stack of money, 6 people sat there hesitating for a long time after the other person left. To stimulate the situation, the driver joked that "the person just now must be very rich, if I'm not mistaken, he is the younger brother of Deputy Grand Maester Arthur Frederick, who only behind the Grand Maester and the Great Leader, 1,000 MPCs is worthless to him". And then out of those 6 people, 2 went up to report to the driver, 3 people heard the driver say that, then after a while of hesitation, took the stack of money and 1 person ignored it as if he didn't see it. In the end, only 1 person took the money in a flash, immediately and without hesitation, he held it tightly in his shirt, and immediately pressed the button to request to get off at the next stop. And according to the script, to force him to return the experimental money, the driver cleverly shouted and complained, "Oh my god, I thought it was a millionaire, this 1,000 MPCs tip and 3 MPCs fare are fake. Sigh, using fake money is against the law, I wonder if that guy gave you any money?" And that person replied that he didn't know and quickly threw away the money and left. The driver also took back the money that the other 3 hesitant people chose to take in the same way."

Note: To prevent unexpected situations, all the money used in the experiment was fake money that looked exactly like real money to the naked eye and was allowed to be used in the experiment. This was useful in case the target passengers decided to take the money, the driver just had to question that it was fake money, in the worst case scenario, the passengers insisted on keeping it and ran away from the bus, secret police will capture them soon.
