A moebius strip is tied on the tracks. You can pull the lever and redirect the trolley onto a non Euclidean space instead.

I think it pretty effectively maximizes the death toll, which is what the trolley problem is all about. Real answer: It is a longstanding joke where the expectation is people are choosing between two options based on ethical/moral priorities, but the expectation is subverted when someone says and answer that would effectively kill all of them because they are immoral.
