    Default Hypothetical Noodles

    A large table is piled high with a variety of plain, white, boiled noodles. You are offered $100 if you eat them all within the next five hours. Do you take the challenge?

    I'd do it for free.

    Might even pay $100.

    Which then begs the question, "Why are you getting paid to do something you might even pay to do?".

    Someone cooked too many noodles and is frantic to get rid of them with no evidence before someone finds out they goofed.

    Says you.

    I want to know more about this "someone".

    I had some bottled water.

    I was just thinking how nasty that challenge would be.

    I'd be worried the noodles were poisoned or this set up was some kind of trickery.

    I would consider whether I could eat that many noodles in the allotted time, and then realize that my dignity is worth much more than $100, and refuse out of principle.

    No way; being sick isn't worth the $100 to me; maybe if the reward was over the medical care I'd consider it like $100,000.

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    No, I probably wouldn't be successful at it anyway. I don't think I could possibly eat that much in one sitting and like Maritsa said, getting sick isn't worth the money.

    I'd get sick for it, provided that I didn't die, but the amount of noodles in this question is physically impossible to consume in the given time without being allowed to vomit.

    if I learned anything from the internet it's that there's probably someone in Japan who will prove you wrong
