The Kobayashi Maru is a test given to students at the Starfleet Academy-- "a no-win scenario as a test of character." If a ship calls for your help from a conflicted war zone, would you go in to rescue them (and induce galactic war) or stay out of the zone (and leave them to die)? I love situations like this, and while I'm not a Star Trek fan per se, whenever I hear about things like this it makes me think I could be one pretty easily.
