    For €50,000, would you be willing to thread water (with the aid of a flotation device) for 24 hours in the middle of the ocean, hundreds of miles from any land? You would be picked up and dropped off obviously, but have to remain there alone for 24 hours.

    I wouldn't. The thoughts of being there, alone in pitch darkness is fxcking terrifying.

    If by flotation device you mean luxury yacht then yes, yes I would.

    Not a bother once I had certainty that they could find me again at the end of the 24hours

    For 50 grand I'd put up with being terrified for 24 hours. #
    Eaten by a shark - not so much. So count me out

    Bit late to the party there mate. The "joke" has already been made :)

    So people are more afraid of sharks and the dark then actually freezing to death, which would almost be a certainty.

    Do it if I had a woolly jumper on

    Well, a floatation device has been deemed allowable so presumably a dry-suit wouldn't be breaking the rules either?

    Yet to receive any. I'm very disappointed.
    Maybe I'll make my way to the Ladies Lounge.

    My worst nightmare. I'd go insane within the hour. Just thinking about it is terrifying.

    I've been in a flotation tank before which isn't the same but if you knew there was a time limit I don't see why you couldn't do it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,420 ✭✭✭Lollipops23


    I'd be terrified of sharks ans whales (they're too damn big to be allowed :( ) so no, probably not. Plus the freezing to death thing.

    Whales are grand, a whale would actually be more shocked than you if it accidentally ate you.
