You have to choose one...
a) You have eternal happiness and one hundred other people will be tortured for eternity.
b) You are tortured for eternity and one hundred other people will have eternal happiness.
Choose one, you have to choose one, there are no twists.

I'd choose B for even one other person

B, I could never be eternally happy knowing that 100 people are being unwillingly tortured on my behalf. One life for 100, It would be horrific but I would get through it knowing why I'm doing it. It would be very hard giving your life for people you don't know, you would think I wish what I'm having to endure the benefits would go to my loved ones, but if you think about it every person is someones loved one and would you not want people to give for them as you would.

I'd choose B because my husband and my children might be in that group of 100 people with eternal happiness as a result of my sacrifice.

I could never be truly happy knowing that I caused others to suffer. I have never had that happy of a life to begin with, so I think I could handle eternal torture. I would take it.

Both are torture - spending eternity with a god or even the potential that something else could be tortured for eternity would be torture.

A.
And anyone who answers B is going to be tortured eternally anyway for lying. ;)

If they deserved eternal happiness, and could only gain it by my sacrificing myself, I'd sacrifice myself knowing that I saved 100 from the same fate.
But that's really a silly question as you know it can never be that way.

I would choose to be eternally happy. Hopefully I'd never have to decide between these two, but you said.....

I choose happiness, the other hundred will have to suffer!

No, sorry but that is a hypothetical that does not apply. My belief in God is in a loving God who does not have areserved number of spots for salvation or damnation. I just wanted to chime in to let you know that your question limits the ability of people to respond in case you wanted to rephrase it.
Oh, and it was an easy two points.
