99% of the world's population will die.
You get US$1.508 trillion to build a program to test people who will live. It can be whatever you want, but there is only a year for each person to go through it.
So, how do you decide who "passes"?

Every JAV idol, best scientists and me
Me? I'll have crablegs.
everyone who is in the top few percent of humanity in terms of physical fitness, intelligence, morals, lack of genetic diseases, and sociability gets to live. You have to pass ALL the tests to live.
The physical fitness test is pretty standard stuff. Running, push-ups, etc etc. Anyone who's been in public education or the military should understand this. Sort out the fit from the fat and infirm.
The intelligence test is also pretty standard, and will take into account education and skills in addition to just raw IQ shit.
The moral test is just asking people if they think killing the lower 99% of humanity to improve the lives of the top 1% is a moral thing to do. If they answer yes, they fail and will be killed.
The genetics test is literally just a genetics test. As few diseases as possible, please.
The sociability test is the last one, and amounts to putting people in a boring waiting room with others, making them wait for the results of the other tests, and seeing how they cope, and help others cope, with seeing the failures dragged off to the death pits.
Might as well go full eugenics if we're gonna' kill everyone anyways.
There's only one real answer here.
Have every person on earth roll a D100 and only the people who roll 100 can live. Only 1 roll per person.
Let chance decide.
I spend half the money creating an impassable underground base where I can sustain myself and live in luxury for 100 years.
The rest of the money goes to creating a program for manufacturing domesticated catgirls.
Then I take the catgirls and live in my underground mansion until I die.

If society is to survive and maybe even retain current levels, one needs to do the following:
1) Analyze Global Infrastructure. What we need is to determine the smallest selfsustaining System
>> This includes Agricultural works as well as Mining, Ore Processing and heavier Industry
These are the foremost people we need to save. We need to keep this circle as small as possible. It needs to be geographically more or less contained in order to make it rather survivable, large transit corridors are shit when this scenario occurs.
Secondary Focus is Scientists, but this one is rather easy, we just grab them off of Universities and the such, Computer Scientists are possibly the most valuable of all, as it would be their domain to preserve Internet Architecture and Archives: Most of our Knowledge is Online or in Computers, preserving that Knowledge has utmost priority.
1% of the worlds population is still 70 million people more or less, no? I would elect to preserve entire countries if possible, as they will naturally form a culturally cohesive bond. Therefore, the following are the most likely scenarios:
>>> Preserve First World Nations and Lifestyle
Quite Possibly Germany is the goto choice there. They still have mining operations, a very large middle class, lots of proper workforce with an education far superior to most of their peers in the rest of the first world ( that is, bluecollar; Electricians and the Like ), they also have a huge industrial base and can self-sustain with Agriculture.
>> Primary Problem: Germany has been switching to renewable Energies and away from both fossile fuels as well as nuclear power. Right now, Powergrid Integrity in Germany is absolutely dependant on foreign (atomic or fossile) power being provided by it's neighbours to balance out the unstable current provided by renewable Energies.
>> Secondary Problem: Immigrants, Mudshits, Muslims, depravity and cultural degeneration over the last 70 years
I use that money to hunt down the OP with a drone and kill him for the crime of being a faggot.
continued:
>>> Preserve Humanity in General
in this case, self sustaining and rather isolated countries with contained industry are best suited for survival. Candidates for this would be:
> North Korea
> Kuba
> Australia
as those will be able to sustain themselves and are rather used to isolation ( Australia due to it's remoteness, the DPKR and Kuba due to political Isolation and Sanctions having already forced these two countries to adopt isolationist and autark infrastructure and industrial bases )
Within a given Community, be it Germany, or DPKR or Kuba or Australia, you'd have to keep the following alive:
> Workforce
> Women to replenish population, obviously
> Children to grow up and fill the ranks
Least valuable and suited to be sacrificed in excess of the 70 or so million of people you can provide survival for would be:
> cripples
> elderly
> unemployed
> migrants
> foreigners
from within these above mentioned societies.
Gather all human knowledge: books, movies, everything. Harvest the eggs from every woman and the sperm of every man. Create a storage facility that can hold all of that genetic material indefinitely. Preserve the top scientists and doctors. Everyone else does. Next the scientists and doctors rebuild the human race with randomly selected pairs of sperm and eggs. Humanity interbreeds becoming one race.
easy just run a psychological profiling test and the ones who are most likely to be inclined to follow my orders may live.

Implying you little monkey brain know what traits to select to ensure long term human survival.
Clearly I will design a computer program to calculate the perfect candidates and a series of automated robotic drones.
Once the disaster is nearly upon us, I will read out the list of those that will survive.
It will hardly be my fault that, once completed, it is revealed that the list of candidates selected by the computer includes only nubile, attractive young women and myself.
Computers, right?
Anyway, those automated robotic drones?
They'll be protecting me and the other selected.
I am sorry for all your tragic, unavoidable deaths.
user I love science but you're going to need a better variety of people than that if you want the human race to be able to survive. Being good at research doesn't make you good at the rest of the shit people need to do for a society to function.
this man understands
>kill yourself moralfag
yes that is the intention of that particular test, to get rid of everyone involved in killing most of the population. They (we?) are clearly not to be trusted with the reigns of power, considering they (we?) just committed the worst atrocity in human history.
>Implying you little monkey brain know what traits to select to ensure long term human survival.
Physical and mental strength, social behavior, and a lack of genetic disease, obviously. You don't need to be some transcendent being to figure that shit out.

So unspecific that any can be vomit out that cabbage. Individual doesn't matter, our strength is the ability to work on group.
I will simply take the top 10% of human in term of individual using test similar to yours. I will then randomly assign them into group of 50/50 sex ratio. I will then have them fight war against each other until only 1% is left.
Human behavior are result of group selection, not individual selection.
Wait, shouldn't the first step be to just kill half the world's population?

Nah. Seven billion minus two zeroes is 70 million. That's more then enough to sustain a population. Hell, that's the total population of Europe during 13th century.

So, everyone in the US, because I live there.

So, Japan, because they make a bunch of stuff I like. That comes to about 446.2 accounted for.
> Canada's about 35.16 million, Britain's about 64.1 million.
So, those guys, because they always seemed pretty chill in the last century or so. That comes to about 545.46.
After that, I feel like I have inadvertently skewed heavily towards white people so far, so unless I'm given cause to do otherwise I'll probably just take samples from other countries purely for the sake of acting as genetic livestock. Probably aiming for people of above average intelligence, creativity, or athletic ability, or women with enlarged posteriors because you handed me the keys to the apocalypse and I ain't gotta explain shit to you.
I guess Australia's kind of fucked.

You can only save 74 million, not 318.9 million.

They fight each other to death until only one remains.
No, not one percent.
THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE.
That explains everything.
At one point there were fewer than 5000 humans. 70 million is more than enough to repopulate assuming there werent extra threats after the 99% purge

That's less than 1% of the human population.
You'd need 732,600,000,000 fetuses.
>Putting a computer geek in charge of who lives and who dies
I feel like there are a lot of problems with this idea.
Probably something like do some research on the optimal distribution of occupations in human societies, find outstanding members of such occupations, and fill up our quota until we hit 70 million, then slot the remaining 4 million with 'wild card' people to fill in any major discrepancies.
I'd die for sure, unless they wanted me around to ask why I did it. But I'd need a vote from the 70 million chosen as to whether they wanted to keep me or not. If more than 31.73 percent want to kick me (I know one-half would be a cinch due to the fact I set up the system that picked them), I stay go.
By price. You know I'm right.
You'll die first.
Refuse and tell them to do their own damn dirty work.
Just pick a couple of small countries that get to survive. Iceland, Denmark, Finland and Holland or something like that.

I would conceive a test that measures fertility/virility, alongside altruism and selfishness. Only the good people who are young enough to still have relatively healthy children are allowed to live. People with crippling genetic disorders, latent or active, are right out.
It'll be a better world on multiple accounts, albeit one that I have no place in personally. The height of their technology matters less to me than the fact that they're living for each other, as well as for themselves.
