Here's the episode.

Pilot for "Twilight Zone" first aired in 1959.



Don't click if you don't want a new window opened.

Imagine the riots if this guy emerges with a solved Rubik's cube.

He is damn near 50, I think he could pull it off 20 years ago but this seems like too much.

Exactly. What's next? Can't drink any sort of liquid for two months! 1:1 odds, who wants to take the bet?

People really dont care about their own health when it comes to make what seems like easy and big money.

You cant die or get sick from being bored. You guys are overreacting
This is a very easy bet if 100k means the world to you.

Can someone explain what i seem to be missing about what makes this "impossible"

like whats the main difference between this and ChicagoJoey playing 1 million hands of profitable online poker in a month? like theres no way Joey had any meaningful human interaction or got a decent nights sleep during that month. this bet actually seems easier than that one. and people have gone off the grid and lived for 25+ years in middle of nowhere Maine with no human interaction so i dont buy that it's impossible to go 30 days without any. is it just the no lights that makes it "impossible"?

God that would be terrible. You’d snap for sure.

Need a lot more than 100k and even then I dont think most would make it.

The guys is SAW couldn't even make it a day before they were cutting off limbs to get out of that bathroom and they had light!

I think your sense of sound would really start to mess with you. If you have any fear of bugs, spiders, roaches, etc. you are F'D. You will no doubt hear little noises all the time and think they're bugs, and you'll start hallucinating thinking they're crawling all over you.

Your complexion will also be completely destroyed after 30 days of absolutely no sunlight, what a ****ty bet this is.

I shudder to even think of the hygiene issues that will occur with this bet. Like others have said this is pretty much torture.

I imagine the closest thing to this is solitary confinement in prison but even tha5s not this bad.... I imagine the guy backs out of the bet after he actually sees what it’s like by trying it for a short period of time outside the bet

there are documented cases of people permanently losing their minds over solitary confinement that is easier than this. stupid bet and risking damage that cannot be undone.

I hope they don't go through with this.

What is in the bathroom? Is there a chair or a cot for him or does he have to sit on the toilet?

People who are saying this is impossible are foolish. People saying that the bet should be outlawed or that its somehow immoral to be involved with are ******ed.

Mentally taxing for sure, but not impossible. Blind people live in the dark their entire lives.

Bro this ain't solitary confinement. Huck can walk out of that bathroom any second he wants to. People in solitary have no clue when they're gonna leave.

I think this is doable, but not easily. You would have to set up some mental training exercises; math, chess, counting, or whatever to get you through from meal to meal (which would obviously be the highlights of your day). Just practice in dimly lit conditions for a day and set up a rigid routine for yourself.

I would definitely want more money. Even with 100% chance of success I'm not sure throwing my life away for a month is worth 100k (brag?). Maybe 200k though. Also wouldn't do it at 1:1. Even though I feel consciously strong enough to do this, I wouldn't trust my subconscious self to not panic and not escape in some sort of sleepwalking-like state. I think there's also a chance you would overreact to some minor issue like an insect or bad smell.

The real wager is if Huck reaches Nirvana. I've always been a fan of his resolve.

The absence of light is what makes it "impossible". Staying in a confined area for a month is really bad, but then you add in no light. You have no idea how long you've been in there or way to keep track of it. I almost guarantee if this person completes this 30 day challenge, he will have permanent mental problems afterwards. It doesnt take long for your mind to start going when it is in conditions like this. Hopefully someone is checking on him because this guy/girl could go bonkers and not be aware enough to exit the room before they lose it. Just seems very dangerous and not worth it for $100k.

Blind people from birth dont know the difference. And I doubt you could get a blind person to stay in a bathroom solitary for a month. It's the combination of darkness, confined space, and limited available activity that makes this difficult and dare I say stupid.

Really? It's a huge difference having nature and light Available to you. Also having OPTIONS to at least get u9 and go get a coffee and not be out some people's life savings makes a big difference.

I've always liked huck but damn he needs a life if he thinks this is worth the potential fallout if this bet.

If it's Huck he will win

lol, tricks you? Wtf are you some kind of hapless moron?

I guess at least you publicly outted yourself as someone with no honor whose word is worthless, so if anyone does their research youll never have to worry about facing any situation where you are involved with a bet of significance.

lol, I love how a bunch of people who have zero ****ing clue and a youtube education are suddenly experts at psychology and torture and think this is some horrendous tragedy.

No one is forcing him to be in there. It can't be both physically impossible and a torture so extreme he will never again be a human, and also be something that only an unlocked door is preventing him leaving and he doesnt leave.

Something the community should put a stop to? loooooooool

I think this is fake for sure when i think about it, this will never happen.
We're not saying it's torture per se
But that no person with half a brain, much less a winning poker player would accept 1:1 odds or anywhere near it

^ seems like most poker players are also psychology experts
