I don't understand your Puppies question. When you say:
.... what do you mean by "based on your decision"? They decide the same as you did? The opposite? There's a relationship to your decision but you don't know which one.
I am really quite confused, and don't see what moral dilemma there is supposed to be beyond "should I kill a puppy or not?" - which on the grand scale of things isn't a very hard Moral Dilemma :P
"There's a relationship to your decision but you don't know which one". You won't see all the puppies being spared or all the puppies being blown up. You will see some of the puppies being spared and some of them being blown up, with no obvious pattern - however you know that your decision ultimately caused whatever sequence of sparing/blowing up the machine produced.
