The trolley goes at infinite speed after the branch point. What's your outside the box answer now?

Halfway through the branch point pull the lever to derail the trolley?

Then you have a choice to do nothing and allow people die, or do a conscious choice to kill people. There's something for everyone, everyone wins (except the people on rails)
