Was the lever track supposed to be a supertask? Cuz 1/(2^-n ) is just 2^n , so each instruction takes exponentially longer to execute, so unless the complex turning machine halts in like a single instruction, lever guy is gonna die 100%

But non-lever guy has the potential to either die after a very decent while, or never at all, and lever guy is safe too if i don't pull the lever
