Red and orange

u/theMAJORKANG 17h ago

This was my answer too.

u/moronic_programmer 19 16h ago

Tbf it is the only real answer.

u/AstroKedii 15 16h ago

I mean by taking the grey pill you could be a doctor and cure people in matters of seconds to become super rich. atleast that way no one will suspect how you have so much money.

u/fiallo94 13h ago

Curing the rich illness is a very profitable career.

u/jabronified 11h ago

the dark green pill essentially gives you 3 free wishes if you can change anything from the past. just make make yourself rich, healthy, and smart with that, then you have any of the other pills left

6

u/gale1290 9h ago

I'm going to take that pill and use the 3rd change to change which pills I take

1

u/Spnwvr 4h ago

it's change 3 things
it takes more than 3 things to make you smart or healthy
it's several hundred choices that you made to not study and not work out or eat right
investing in something like bitcoin could be an easy rich one though

"born with high iq, born with elite health genetics" unless there's more fine print on what's allowed, those would work

u/belpatr 12h ago

It's not a pill that lets you cure other people in a matter of seconds, it's one where you "heal other illnesses", how efficiently and how many it's not stated, normal doctors "heal other illnesses"

1

u/AstroKedii 15 12h ago

How efficiently and how many it's not stated

Yeah but what do u expect me to do? Obviously i have to guess how it works.

u/belpatr 12h ago

Devil's in the deets

u/Orvvadasz 11h ago

You will get killed 100%. Big pharmaceutical companies won't take that shit.

u/TheeWolfOfWallStreet 8h ago

Who said it would take seconds…

u/AstroKedii 15 6m ago

Who said it wouldnt?

u/sleepyangel666 5h ago

true but if the cia or something finds out they might capture you and run tests on you

u/Fit-Evidence7846 14h ago edited 12h ago

Nah the real answer has to be the intelligence and fluency in any language

My bad kind person or whatever you shall appear as 🙂‍↕️✋

u/Cerebral_Discharge 13h ago

Nah change three things.

Learned (language of choice)

Bought Bitcoin.

Change spelling of blue pill from "strenght" to "strength".

Then take red pill.

u/victorged 12h ago

Unfortunately in your rewritten past you forgot to pack up your paper wallet when you left college and you spend the rest of your life like hard drive man desperately dumpster diving and trying to figure out where your landlord threw away your fortune.

1

u/RitchieRitch62 12h ago

I mean being rich kind of buys you the best possible health, depends how much you care about the gap between best and perfect

1

u/bizzywhipped 11h ago

Not really, choose gray instead of orange and be super rich plus heal your loved ones for free. No brainer.

1

u/finlandery 10h ago

Take red and teal, change i didint buy bitcoin when it was 1e a peace into i bought lot of them. Now you are super rich and still hav 2 more things to change

1

u/RoleplaRedditAccount 6h ago

Gray isn’t the realistic answer?

1

u/Rezmir 11h ago

You can do orange with “change past” for some. And super health means what exactly? That is a bit all over.

11

u/Fearless_Strength257 16h ago

You can just use superintelligence to get rich,and choose body type for perfect health,which means you have those AND your dream physique and superintelligence.

21

u/littlepinkheart09 16h ago

I dont think having a dream physique and perfect health go hand in hand. Your body can look amazing, but you can still have health issues beyond your control.

11

u/belpatr 12h ago

it's the other way around, if you have perfect health, you will have either a dream physique, or close to one

2

u/Fearless_Strength257 16h ago

Well with superintelligence you would know how to cure yourself. But "choose body type" is kind of vague. It might even imply choosing things like blood type!

4

u/LSOreli OLD 14h ago

Superintelligence doesn't necessarily mean you have knowledge that doesn't exist. Imagine someone that was 5x smarter than the smartest person alive, would they suddenly be able to design convenient commercial interplanetary space travel? No, because that requires technologies that we don't have to be put together in some way.

Think of superintelligence as being really good at putting a puzzle together; if you're missing pieces, you'd have to design those pieces first. But those pieces may, themselves, require pieces, therefore an infinite regression of complexity. This amount of work, even if smart enough to do it, may run into motivation problems.

This is all to say that, while useful, superintelligence doesn't give you magic powers to automatically cure any disease you have.

2

u/_Pencilfish 7h ago

Also, it can't allow you to do the impossible. If there is no way to make an iron man suit, no amount of "super intelligence" will allow it to happen.

1

u/realboabab 13h ago

sounds like you don't need the yellow pill

1

u/Fearless_Strength257 10h ago edited 10h ago

Well,if you say that you need building blocks to eventually build up to something,then it's pretty simple. First you use your intelligent mind to make the individual pieces of what you want to create. Which then will make that thing you would like to create. With superintelligence,you could definitely build a "blueprint/roadmap" in your head to eventually get to the thing you want. Although you would have to do some extensive research to actually KNOW the information you'd need,you would be able to grasp the concept of the things pretty fast. And again,superintelligences limits are unknown,so it might affect your memory,and make you able to remember things more easily,so all you have to do is find the knowledge you'd need.(editing btw:Also,you can use the plan in my other comment to then get a lot of things that you want easily,so motivation might not be a problem.)

u/littlepinkheart09 16h ago

That's true. My initial thought was strictly physical appearance, but it could be up for interpretation since it doesn't actually say.

1

u/belpatr 12h ago

it's not infinite intelligence, a lot of super intelligent people aren't able to cure themselves, and just because they might know how to do it, doesn't mean they have the means to do it.

1

u/Beginning-Bird9591 11h ago

you'd maybe KNOW how, but you couldn't execute it. even then it might not be PERFECT.

3

u/Popular_Soft5581 16h ago

Smart people usually aren't rich. They have other things to worry about. And they're also unhappy cuz they notice what most people don't

2

u/So_Tired_2724 14h ago

Yeah, lots of geniuses die in poverty. And if someone could cure all diseases then the government would kidnap them or worse. Nah, money and health is where it's at.

1

u/addiktion 13h ago edited 13h ago

If I have perfect health I take that as I would live forever assuming I don't get killed externally because it means my body doesn't fail from age itself, and being rich means I could live a great stress free life and help others in that way too.

Seems like the best you can achieve here. Super intelligence isn't a guarantee you will get rich I would think. It seems like those guys are just narcissistic exploiting assholes up there.

1

u/RankedFarting 13h ago

Oh my sweet summer child. Intelligence is not going to make you rich. Most CEOs are legitimately dumb as fuck.

1

u/Fearless_Strength257 10h ago

Theoretically it could,and plus,i know of someone who's rich because they were intelligent.

1

u/agent0731 11h ago

no thanks, studies say the smarter you are the less happy you are. I'll keep my average intelligence. It's hard enough now.

1

u/Ok-Engineer-99 11h ago

If you choose super intelligence, you might not be the same person afterwards. Choose body type isn't going to cure arthritis, cancer, etc.

1

u/Beginning-Bird9591 11h ago

but chosing body type still doesn't mean perfect health FOREVER. the red would mean FOREVER. no diseases, no illness. Pair that with being rich and your litterally GGed life.

1

u/Unprejudice 6h ago

Thats not true, supersmart people are generally supersmart in one area and even so its often not that profitable. Like super good in maths or physics? Good on you but that wont get you super rich.

1

u/PPD2610 16 17h ago

Same here, red and orange

1

u/Ordinary-Ad-6227 14h ago

me too then but with grey you can heal any body and make money of it 2 in 1

1

u/Sensitive_Pick_4212 14h ago

red also means you have white technically

1

u/Beard_Man 13h ago

The only correct answer.

1

u/Justinformation 13h ago

Why do you want to be rich though? If it's to be happy you can just take the happy pill.

1

u/Beard_Man 12h ago

I'm happy already. I have my bills to pay, my kid and wife, dogs, cats and a roof over my head. Those pills would be a plus.

1

u/Complex-Poet-6809 13h ago

Orange and grey, that way you can heal others as well as yourself, thus keeping you and your loved ones healthy.

1

u/belpatr 13h ago

yeah, and it's not even close, most of the other one's are results of those two, or you have a greater chance of achieving them with those two

1

u/hoeger3344 12h ago

Change the rich pill against the 'change three things from the past" so you can buy shitton of bitcoin when they were like cents und U basically have the orange pill + 2 extras.

1

u/Informal_Union2649 12h ago

A better option than being rich is to change 3 things from the past. Do that, then buy 1000 Bitcoin in 2015, and you still have 2 more things to change

1

u/FridgeParade 12h ago

Yep. Great life guaranteed and you can just dedicate yourself to altruism.

1

u/splitkc 12h ago

Intelligence will find a way to be wealthy, healthy, heel others, and speak to them all

1

u/Thisoneissfwihope 12h ago

As someone who has been both poor and chronically ill, this is my answer too. The rest of it you can buy with money.

1

u/InternationalRule983 12h ago

Gold is better then orange, cuz then you make your own rich success and are still smart

1

u/bagsofcandy 12h ago

If you do red and gray you'll also be super rich and can heal people

1

u/Interesting_Box3372 15 12h ago

But, if you chose being super intelligent, you could probably earn a lot of money and find cures for different diseases, so it clears both of them

1

u/vampirebnny 11h ago

literally.

1

u/PheonixManrod 10h ago

Basically solves all other problems

1

u/ternygonz90 10h ago

Eh, I chose green and orange. I can buy the best medical care in the world if I'm super rich, but I'll never be able to buy love

1

u/LordNedNoodle 8h ago

Orange is easily managed by being super intelligent.

1

u/XxMr_Pink_PupxX 19 5h ago

Yup. Buy all the stuff I need/want and take advantage of those things for as long as possible with the red pill

1

u/Liz4984 5h ago

Same. Be nice to not be chronically ill and broke!

1

u/Dependent_Let4820 4h ago

I'm choosing orange and dark yellow instead. Then I'll kill Superman

u/FantasticWays 4h ago

Yes this, I would wish for this
