... On an island with no internet, TV or friends and without seeing anyone for a whole year for $10 Millions?
You would be provided with necessary food and all the necessary stuff to survive, just totally cut off from society in an empty room with no noise.
This is a question we got asked in one of our college classes for a study
Sure. I'd just sleep a lot.
maybe if i have a pen and paper too.
Hell yeah. I can take a well needed break from life and make $10 mill.
Sleep, eat and do push ups for a whole year. DONE.
Sure, why not. It'll make you a better person.
F@ck yes. No brainer.
hell yeah, i would eat, sleep, fap, work out for the whole year. then chill the rest of my life with 10 mil.
Yes.
I'm sure I would definitely agree with it at first but it would take some work staying sane. It would be constant self-reminders and thinking about the $10 million that is coming to me. Oh and this cannot be recorded or broadcast in any form. I don't want my singing and ranting on day 306 to be seen by anyone else.
Is this a trick question.
10 million dollars, AND an experience that would give you perspective you would otherwise never be able to gain?
Who is saying no to this?? I'd be chillin with Wilson all day up in dat bitj

edit: oh shit, reading comprehension ftl. just noticed it said empty ROOM. not just fun in the sun on a deserted island.
actually i dont know if i'd do it in that case.
Sure I'll just tattoo porn all over my arms and hands, making it come to life with different hand signals and arm positions...I'll be good to go...
If I got books to read, pen and paper, yeah sure.

That would be too easy

I'm pretty sure the point of the question is that you [B]don't[/B] have access to said items.
Only items [I]necessary to survival,[/I] like food, shelter, toiletries, and medicine if needed.
[QUOTE=macmac]That would be too easy[/QUOTE]
:lol yeah you're right. But even without that stuff I would do it. but coming back to the real world, would be such a ***** and a mental shock.

The way I interpreted it is you're cut off from new media, hence no tv or internet. regardless I'd still do it.
Yea I assume you would have nothing other than food, water, a mattress and somewhere to piss and sh[I]i[/I]t. I'm hoping this also includes things like toothpaste and a toothbrush, things that will at least keep you healthy. But nothing that involves any sort of fun.
sooo.... will I be all like Edmond Dantes up in that thing?
exactly what all will be in the room?

A spoon, and an old man will be slowing digging a tunnel towards your room.
I wouldn't be able to do it...

I was thrown off by him saying "on an island"
if you're shut up in a room with no amenities, why exactly does this have to take place on an island?
I would damn sure try.
:lol Hell yes, do you know what've ive been doing for the past year?

Maybe it's an empty room on an island in case you claw your way out of the room. Double whammy.
That confused me too. I'm just going to assume this would be a controlled thing in an empty room. I don't want to dick around on an island where I can actually die.

[QUOTE=brwnman]I wouldn't be able to do it...[/QUOTE]
me either... no nothing for one year... just staring at blank walls...
No. My sanity is not worth it. Nor could I spend a yr away from my wife and four kids. This last yr alone the have grown so much, and no amount of money could ever replace that.

Where's your will power son! Y'all weak.
Im actually surprised at how many people said yes. I can only imagine what some of you would do to trade bodies with Lebron James :lol :lol Most of my class said no. I said no myself. Just try to picture how long a year is just eating, sleeping and staring at 4 walls with no notion of time.

I'll gladly mail you $10,000 if you don't post on ish for a year.

I'd do it for 100 grand, maybe less.[/QUOTE]

Don't start at the walls, use your head do something creative. Use your time wisely. The people who "stare at wall" of course wouldn't be able to do it, cause there mind will just be on staring at walls.

Ive done that twice, Ill give ya discount, send me $15,000

Bet!
Probably. As of late I've been a bit of a recluse anyways, so might as well make 10 million for doing so.
It'd be difficult without any human interaction, and the loneliness and depression would probably be crippling after a while, but I'm not really sure sanity was ever my strong suit anyways. :oldlol:
the $ would be awesome but i'd go crazy. i'd have to be constantly drugged or something.
I am thinking I could probably do it.
What happens if I try and fail?

The teacher didnt mention that. So lets say you would have to pay 10 000$ for trying and not finishing it
