Well they could just restrain you and lock you up in prison. You'd probably get some of them while they tried it, but I imagine it could be done. So killing without the law bothering you would help there.

And if we're looking at IQ, which may not exactly be the best way to determine intelligence, if you have 100 then you'll be bumped to 150. So even if you're average you're now significantly smarter. And if you're not too strong to begin with then I think the police would be more easily able to just grapple you down if you tried to go on a killing spree.
Strenght without some amount of skill is pretty useless unless you're lifting boxes. In terms of muscle mass I'm less than impressive but I know how to fight, I'm reasonably fast and have decent stamina. Furthermore, if I had a ranged weapon the police wouldn't be able to get too close and, given that they can't shoot me down, I'm confident I could make an escape in a desperate situation. Not to mention all the nifty ways I could escape if I were indestructible, like jumping from an extreme hight or running through traffic without fear of being crippled. Sure, I'd be living on the run, but I'd be invincible.

I'm not all that intent on going on a murderous rampage anyway. I'm a tragic pacifist. I'm just saying that theoretically I COULD get away with it IF I were invincible. Also, just because the other option allows you to kill people legally, this doesn't mean there won't be repercussions from other avenues. I can't imagine people being thrilled that I killed their family member/ friend without so much as a slap on the wrist from the legal system. If I overdid it I can see people organising to have me killed, albeit unlawfully.

As for intelligence, it's thoroughly subjective. I'm guessing "smarter" means I would be 50% more adept at processing and retaining information. However, I'm not exactly a diligent student as it is. I procrastinate and lose interest quickly. I'd be better off simply figuring out how to utilise my brain's current processing capacity rather than adding to a potential that I will never tap into. I don't even know what it means to be wise. What one person considers wisdom is probably folly to another.

the killing one. i lack a conscience, so the only think keeping me from doing it now is the law. so long as i don't have to clean it up.

the bug thing is tied for second. i hate anything with more than 4 legs.
the 50% better is great, too.

"You do not need to sleep, your body and mind are always at 100%"

Wait, does that mean that my body won't consume any energy (which means infinite stamina)? I could run entire marathons sprinting, train my body to perfection without tiring, condition my brain to beyond normal, etc. It's superior to the 50% thing in every way, it just takes a bit more time.

Those are all pretty tempting. I would go with either the no sleep thing or 50% better.

Although the killing someone and getting away with it from the law is fine, it doesn't stopped friends/family/new boyfriends coming after you and killing you!
Got to take 50% better in every way. I imagine that is something like being on the drug from Limitless but not having that awkward, time skipping and inevitable death side effect!
Immortality is ok too but I'd rather live a short and totally badass life than a never ending one.

Just one? Damn, tough choice.... I'd have to say "You do not need to sleep, your body and mind are always at 100%" because then I would have twice the time to do everything i want to do (and need to do), time is money after all. Though the "no pests", "$40 a day", "50% better", and "immune to murder" ones were all very appealing.

"You are 50% faster, stronger, smarter, and wiser" anyone that didn't pick this needs it the most.

50% bonus to those stats is a game-breaker. I'll take it. Second choice is no sleep. Not only for the 6-8 extra hours per day, but just having body and mind at 100% on a regular basis sounds really good.

Ooooh. Tough choice between the daily income, the 50% more awesome, or the "I can kill you and no one can do shit". Erm...I'll have to get back to you.

Between no bugs/pests, $40 a day, and 50% better I think I'll choose no bugs/pests but have it altered to where there are no bugs/pests in side any building that I am currently inside of and no bugs/pests would come within 5 yards of me while I am outside.(what? If there where no bugs/pests within one hundred yards of me all the time it would be bad for any plant life within that range)

On second thought, $40 a day for the rest of my life would be nice...can I change my vote now?

I was tempted by the $40 per day but since I from the UK, in pounds it would be less (but hey I at least I am getting some free money I guess) but with last options I can sing to this and it would totally be relevent!!!
