First of all, I consider myself a fairly logical person. I'm an accounting manager so I have a very good short term memory. I have passed every audit for the past 5 years.

I ordered 9 mini figurines for my office desk last week and put 9 small pandas in their habitat, I told everyone in the office that I have counted there are 9 of them and no one should even think of stealing it. I took pictures that day and sent them off to my wife.

Today, I walk in and only see 8 of them. I was really disappointed and asked my immediate coworkers. They all said yeah that's sad someone would steal it, and verified my claim that there were 9 of them. However, I remembered the pictures I sent to my wife. I opened the picture to see their orientation and apparently I only see 8... It just didn't sit right so I went onto Amazon to see my order and it says the order had 8pcs.

My coworkers can't believe that either because they all saw 9 pieces. It's like a mass hallucination I can't make sense of. We even jokingly said last week. It makes 4 couples and one single panda. But now apparently there was never the single dude in there. I'm confused.

What do you recommend? Creation of exclusion zones where resources and suns energy is focused? So we minimize population loss till we figure out something?

Creation of fake suns in orbit using astrophage?

I would love for people to come with brilliant ideas and others challenging them.

What would you recommend in this scenario? Do you have any out of box ideas?

1. No gift tax to be paid. You hold the title now and now are liable for property tax, other expenses. You can live in it. You can rent it out. But you can't sell it for 5 years.

2. You hold the amount for 5 years, you can withdraw and use the dividends paid, can't sell the shares or options on them for 5 years.

Selling both after 5 years would trigger capital gains with zero cost basis.
