Would you take a Nobel Prize or a billion dollars? One speaker mentions entrepreneurs identified as semifinalists in a global competition, while another points to a robot's hand moving in an unexpected way, raising questions about what really matters in high-stakes choices.

If you had a choice, Nobel Prize or billionaire, which would you take?
We've been all over the world. We have found these entrepreneurs to be in the semifinals.
Looking at the hands of the robot, out of the blue he goes like— Whoa! I wasn't expecting that at all.
The semifinals, this is a big bet on your career. It's going to be extremely tough, so I'm going to have to bring my A-game.
