I think everyone inside would die when it accelerated to light speed. And since most numbers are larger than 5 I'd say don't pull the lever. The only question is what happens to the people inside the trolley if you don't pull the lever?

It'll always reduce to a cycle of 4→2→1→4→2→1 etc.

Which means people can get on and off so no one is trapped, and since they don't die until after an infinite number of stops it means no one will get killed
