does killing you in ten years require that you will live the full ten? In that case I would hold the pill until I come down with a terminal illness that should kill me off in 5 or less. Free 5 years or more plus a gold medal? Sure.

I am not sure I understand the rules of this game either. If you die in ten years does that also mean you are guaranteed to live for ten years and be invincible during that time? If that is the case (a gold medal followed by ten years of invincibility) I would be first in line, I think.

I don't know if any amount of money is worth a guaranteed 10 years of life.

I think you guys are missing the point of this question. Some guy that posted here had it right. If a pill could magically fulfil all your life's ambitions but kill you in 10 years, would you take it?
