Imagine you and your siblings inherit a share in a complicated real estate-development-finacial-thing, that has other investors and is managed by a bank. The “big cashout” is in 6 years and meanwhile, you will be paying taxes on the interest.
Which of these animals have you been with 100 feet of in the wild? From a boat or vehicle counts. In a nature preserve or wildlife sanctuary does not count.
What animals have you ridden? It counts if you were a kid on a ride at the zoo, whether saddle or bareback (otherwise I can’t claim “camel” or “tortoise”), but I’m ruling out riding the family dog as a small child or being conveyed by animals in a sled.
You can have $1,000,000. If you accept, $1 will be taken from 1,000,000 different random people from across the globe, unknown to you, and transferred to you.
Great. Thanks!
I’d feel some guilt, but I’d still take it.
$1 could be a lot of money to some people. I’ll pass.

You can have $1,000,000. If you accept, $1,000,000 will be taken from a single individual unknown to you, and transferred to you.
Great. Thanks!

This person can probably spare it, but then again it might be every penny they have. I’ll pass.
The wealthy prankster is back with another offer. This time they dare you to dye your hair bright blue for a whole year. Here are the conditions:
You must maintain a hairstyle that’s at least half an inch long.
If you’ve got a beard or moustache, it too must be dyed bright blue.
If you’re bald or significantly balding, you must grow a full beard or moustache and dye it blue, or else wear a bright blue wig or toupee.
Except when absolutely required for weather or safety reasons, you cannot wear a hat, headscarf, or other head covering that obscures most or all of your hair.
You must live your life more or less as it currently is, which means continuing to leave your home for whatever reasons you normally do (e.g., to work, shop, socialize, etc.).
The only explanation you are allowed to offer about your hair is that you want it that way.
The prankster will pay all reasonable costs associated with the upkeep of your new hairstyle.
What’s the minimum amount of money the prankster would have to offer for you to agree to this?
Keep your reward money, prankster! I’d gladly go blue for a year, especially since you’re paying for the dye.
In the island poll, I confused Victoria Island (Canada), a rather desolate slab of tundra in the Arctic Ocean, with Vancouver Island in British Columbia (regardless of whether or not you picked it in the poll)
Nope, I knew exactly where Victoria Island is before reading this poll or the discussion thread
