Bragmore is a successful businessman who
works with children's groups, sports teams,
environmental causes, and is himself a world
sports champion in off-road ATV racing who
holds multiple world titles. In a recent
multiple-day race in the desert where
temperatures were over 110F and the sand
was blowing, he was leading by two minutes
after the first leg of the race. During the second
leg of the race, his primary competitor, Aprince, who was in second place, spilled gasoline on his own
googles which caused them to melt. Aprince did not have a spare pare of goggles but Bragmore did.
Bragmore could elect to not lend his spare goggles to Aprince which would guarantee his win under the
conditions in which they were racing, or he could lend them to Aprince and continue the battle on equal
footing. There is a $100,000 prize for first place but both Aprince and Bragmore are already extremely
wealthy
What should Bragmore do and why?
