$100 million but you are stuck in a mysterious foreign land for a year
You get $100 million wired to you tax-free instantly, but you are stuck in a foreign land that you know nothing about for a year.
- No one speaks English (or any other language you know)
- You cannot learn their language no matter how hard you try, it's just gibberish to you
- You cannot leave the country in any way: on foot, car, plane, boat, etc.
- You have no prior intel about this fantasy world and it isn't real or on any world maps
- Time will not pass except for you and others in this magical land, so no one from the outside world knows you are gone
- You may attempt nonverbal communication, but there is no guarantee of mutual understanding, and no system can reliably replace spoken language
- You are required to fend for yourself. Food, water, shelter, and other goods, services, and needs must be purchased
- The country has a functional economic system compatible with your $100 million, but you do not understand prices, contracts, or financial norms
- You cannot get sick or injured, so there will be no medical emergencies
- You are fully subject to local laws, customs, and punishments, regardless of your understanding
Do you accept the deal?
