Would you take the money?

[TheBenjamins21]

Magic genie appears before you and offers you a cool $20 million in cash, tax free, to do with as you please. He tells you that you can only accept this money if you agree to one term. You must take one pill, every hour on the hour, for the rest of your life.

The pill is not a narcotic, or harmful or sinister in any way. It is more or less a sugar pill. But it must be taken, every hour on the hour, until you die.

If you forget to take the pill? If you are late in taking the pill? This is where it gets ugly. Remember the movie The Rock? If you miss a pill by more than two minutes, your nervous system shuts down. You begin spitting up your guts and convulsing so violently that you break your own back, all while your skin melts off.

What say you? I think I would take the money, how difficult would it be to take one little pill every 60 minutes?

 

[thebluerider]

no.

 

[Judo Thai Boxer]

You'd be exhausted all the time from not sleeping and generally have a terrible life. No thanks.

 

[KOPower24]

Lack of sleep will kill you quick, besides this Genie of yours can't do shit against the wizard.

So you'd never sleep for more than 59 minutes at a pop??

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

I would build an automatic pill delivery system that is injected into my bloodstream automatically.

With all that money, surely it can be done.

Exactly. This is the part of the scenario where I try to outsmart the genie and OP comes back and goes all D&D on you and says his genie is too powerful to fall for your clever attempt to skirt the rules.

With 20 million in cash you could find a way to take the pill while sleeping. Maybe hire someone who's only job is to administer the pill to you round the clock. Be creative.

It'd only cost a million to get someone else to do it, win either way.

Yep, it can be done. I guess the real issue is, is it worth the risk? What if the system breaks down? You would pay dearly. I think I would take that chance.

 

[elzar]

i couldn't wake up every 59 minutes my whole sleeping life.

i change my answer if it's a suppository

 

[faustian]

So basically you can't sleep?

lol what a D-level hypothetical

 

[Organic Damage]

No sleep = no deal.

Not sure how the Genie feels about loophole exploiters, but I know the magical wizard would be sentencing you to have your balls ripped off by Oprah for all eternity pretty damn quick.

Pretty difficult if you consider humans need contiguous sleep to not go freakin' crazy. Waking up every hour when you should be sleeping to take a pill after 10, 20, 30 years or more... nah. I'll pass.

 

[AznCezi187]

No

A fucked up schedule and sleep pattern for the rest of my life only for 20 million is not worth it.

So I'm putting my life in the hands of some asshole pill administrator literally multiple times a day every day of my life. No thanks.

Genie doesn't care how the pill is taken, loopholes are fine as long as the terms are met.

 

[PON3]

Get paid not to sleep , what a question

 

[odog]

No.
