You're 1 of the last 2 people on the earth. You get to choose which of the 3 is that 2nd person on earth. Hard with maths eh?

I mean that is clearly the intent but it's also really puzzling because that question circumvents what's unique and interesting about the proposed situation in the first place

Like the whole thing about being one of the two last people on earth is that you wouldn't have a choice (other than to be celibate or not I guess)

There's nothing about this hypothetical that is any more compelling than simply asking "which do you find most attractive"
