      Ha, I am not sure I have a worst enemy. I try and avoid making enemies! In those circumstances I wouldn’t really care who did the job, as long as it got done, and wealth would also be an irrelevance compared with the survival of the Earth!

      Haha. I like the idea of being an under-appreciated saviour of the world – like Batman, Spiderman or Superman! So I will go for stopping it and being poor.

      I think the most important thing is that the asteroid was prevented from hitting the earth! I don’t really care about becoming rich so that wouldn’t be a factor in my decision. Its great to believe that one day you might be able to save the world though isn’t it!

      I’m a bit of a perfectionist so I’d be worried that my worst enemy wouldn’t do the job well enough. Especially if they’re my enemy – I probably wouldn’t think very highly of them! I’d deal with not being rich, knowing that the world was saved!
