You're offered $2000 for every line of a movie you get right. The movie will play on silent on a projector in a room full of people and you have to stand on stage and say the character's line at the correct time. You must get the words exactly right, but the timing can be close enough. Obviously, the movie cannot have any subtitles. You get no preparation to memorize any lines, you must simply pick a movie and give it your best shot. The movie must be a feature film released in movie theatres.
Which movie would you pick and how much money do you think you could get?
It's called Slay The King and it comes out on Steam in 2 days
You're offered $20 million upfront to be a front line soldier in 20 of the major wars since 1900. If you die, you will respawn as another random front line soldier but you will lose $1 million of the $20 million you get. After 20 deaths, you will return back to the present with nothing but a lot of trauma. The wars are:
If you survive 5 minutes you will teleport to the next war until you're back to the present. None of your actions will affect history. Your injuries from previous battles will be erased so you always start fresh. You can choose to spawn in your own body or as a random front line soldier.
Do you take the deal?
How many times do you risk pushing the button?
You are guaranteed to be teleported to an empty space with no risk of colliding with anything. You are instantly teleported back in 5 seconds and your velocity/momentum is reset back to before you were teleported. It will happen at a random time once a month when you're sleeping.
Do you accept the deal?
You receive a button that gives you $1 million every time you press it, but an exact clone of yourself with all your memories right up until you pushed the button will spawn in a safe area at a random location on Earth.
How many times do you press the button?
(Consider what you would do if you were the clone in this situation)
Nouns will be swapped with other random nouns, verbs with other verbs etc. The swap is instant and everyone else thinks the swapped version is how it's always been. Only you will know what the original meaning of the word was. For example, the word "dog" could get swapped with "bicycle" and everyone else will believe dogs have always been called bicycles. All written words will be magically swapped too.
Each press would make 10% more of the original words swap. 10 times is the maximum amount you can press it then your native language would be 100% jibberish to you. You can still learn the new words for everything.
How many times, if any, are you pressing the button?
You've been kidnapped and locked in an empty room for an experiment by an unknown person. There's a small hole in the ceiling that you can't reach (or block) and a red button on the floor. Every time you press the button you are guaranteed to receive $200,000 in your bank account. However, an angry Amazonian giant centipede will also drop from the hole in the ceiling. They are venomous but not deadly.
A timer will open the door after 1 hour has passed. However, every time you push the button 10 minutes gets added to the timer.
The room is the size of the average bedroom (12ft x 12ft) and 10ft tall.
You're wearing nothing but your underpants.
You can't escape the room except through the door.
The floor is carpet and the centipedes can survive the drop.
What would you do in this situation? Do you push the button at all or just get out of there after an hour?
You have recently done something that has greatly annoyed an advanced alien race that has been secretly watching Earth and they have ordered you and anyone associated with you (all your friends and extended family) to leave Earth in 24 hours and never return. However, instead of just killing you they will allow you to use their warp hole technology to travel to one of four Earth-like planets far away from Earth.
Planet A is a barren Earth-like planet about half the size of Earth. There are no plants or animals but lots of minerals and materials you could use to build your own village. There's liquid water and the soil is fertile to grow your own food. Any seed you take from Earth will grow so you could grow Earth trees and plants on it. It's safe and there's no unknown dangers.
Planet B is a Earth-like planet similar in size to Earth that is full of different plants and animal species. None of the animals are as smart as humans so you will be the smartest living creature there. You will be warped to a safe zone where you can live and survive indefinitely, but you can also venture out to explore all the new plant and animal species. None of the animals are more dangerous than any existing species on Earth but there's still potential dangers.
Planet C is a Earth-like planet that is twice the size of Earth that is inhabited by various humanoid alien species. They have a similar technology level to humans and there's various different countries and cities like on Earth. The planet is generally peaceful and contains various unknown animals and plants too. You can choose to become a citizen of one of various countries there. Probably the most Earth-like planet except for the other humanoid alien species.
Planet D is a quarter the size of Earth and is ruled by a different advanced alien species. Various other humanoid alien species live there and it's generally peaceful. The aliens have various advanced technologies like super realistic virtual reality, advanced medicine and lifespan extending technology that you are allowed to use. You will generally be free to do as you would on Earth. However, the advanced aliens technically have control over you and although they are generally peaceful you would still be under their control/authority.
All the planets have liquid water, food you can eat and a similar atmosphere to Earth. All your friends and family will be coming with you, along with anything you can bring in a backpack. You can bring your pets as well. And no, the aliens will not tell you what you did that annoyed them.
Which planet are you picking?
You are given a full set of SWAT body armor (including full head protection) and equipment (rifle, side glock, dagger, ammo, accessories) etc and will receive 24 hours of basic weapons training. You must survive 1 hour in one of the following time periods to get $10 million:
Option 1 - You are teleported to the middle of a large forest in 1300s medieval England with 100 soldiers waiting to kill you. They are equipped with various weapons of the time (swords, axes, cross bows) etc but no guns. Some of them will be wearing armor, others won't. They've been told someone from the future is coming to kill them so they really want you dead. You must fight back to survive there's no chance to escape them. To prevent any moral issues, consider it to be a simulation with no real people.
Option 2 - You are teleported to 20 April 1945 in the middle of the Battle of Berlin between the Red Army and the German army. No one is aware you are being sent there and you simply have to survive for 1 hour before you will be teleported back to the present. You can try to hide or fight back but both armies would see you as a hostile soldier and try to kill you.
After 1 hour you are instantly teleported to the present again. If you die before 1 hour has passed you just get teleported back and get nothing.
Which one are you choosing?
One type of animal (dog, lion, horse, ants etc) will listen to your commands for the next year. You simply think of what they should do and all animals of that type worldwide will listen and follow your commands to the best of their ability.
You can't command humans obviously.
The animal is only able to follow commands it is naturally capable of doing e.g. you could command all crows to pick up any shiny objects and leave them somewhere.
You can limit the commands to only animals near you or specific groups of the type of animal e.g. in different regions/countries/areas.
The animals will still eat and sleep normally but otherwise will do their best to follow your commands.
Animals cannot do anything unrealistic or travel further than their natural habitats.
If any humans notice groups of animals doing anything strangely coordinated or unnatural they are likely to get the government involved to shut down your plans.
Only you can get directly involved in any business/money-making activities from the animals. Telling anyone else you can command animals will freak them out and they may report you to the government authorities.
The animals don't necessarily have to gather something. You could order them to attack/destroy something and offer assistance for a financial reward or sell a specific service a group of animals could do. Think outside the box but keep it realistic.
You can keep all the money you made after one year and the animals go back to their natural lives.
So, what's your plan to become a billionaire in the next year?
An evil wizard is bored and has decided you must impersonate someone's occupation for 24 hours for his own amusement. He will "body swap" you with someone with one of the following occupations and you must impersonate them for 24 hours (two 12 hour shifts) or he will permanently body swap you with a prisoner who has been sentenced to 50 years in jail. Your options are:
Lawyer - You will be swapped with a lawyer who's defending a high profile case in court. You will have to present legal arguments in your client's defense.
Business Manager - You will be swapped with a business manager of a Fortune 500 company and you must hold meetings and delegate tasks to your employees. You will also have to answer to the CEO regarding various business decisions.
Politician - You will be swapped with a random local politician and must perform his duties which includes giving an uplifting speech to a crowd of people. You will also be interviewed by news organizations about your policies.
Actor - You will be swapped with a famous actor shooting a Hollywood movie and must memorize lines and act in various scenes.
Musician - You will be swapped with a back up/supporting guitarist of a band and must do 2 live performances in which you play the guitar on stage to various songs. You will be given 24 hours to memorize the songs.
The evil wizard will be watching everything you do and if he sees someone get suspicious that you're not who you say you are, you'll be bodyswapped to a prisoner immediately. You retain all your own memories but simply "take over" the person's body for 24 hours. You don't inherit any of their skills. If you successfully impersonate the person for 24 hours (2 days of 12 hour shifts) you will return to your own body unharmed. You must go to work, you cannot just hide.
One more detail, you only have to impersonate them at their job/profession for two 12 hours shifts. The person resumes control of their body outside of their work/occupation. You will also get a brief summary of the person's name/age/occupation and employee names so you have a basic idea of who you are and who your co-workers/employees are.
Which occupation do you pick?
