You are buried in a coffin 6ft deep, with no light or cell phone. There is only a small tube connected to the coffin from outside that allows you to breathe (edit: you can breathe with no difficulty). After 48 hours, you are dug up and given 1 million dollars. Do you do it?

Edit: No food and water, no diaper, and no contact with the outside world. Once buried, they leave for 48hr and come back to dig you up. The coffin is only wide enough for you to lay on your back (no rolling around), and the inside is wood and not particularly comfortable. The only items you’re allowed to bring with you are life sustaining medication (e.g. an asthma inhaler). No knocking yourself out with pills or anxiety meds. The money is a briefcase full of cash.

    I’d do it. Doesn’t seem too bad considering the pay off. I’d probably do some fasting going into it to avoid having to go #2. I think my biggest concern would be blood clots from not really being able to move, but I figure as long as the thing isn’t too tiny, I could figure something out.

      As we are assumed to get enough oxygen no matter what, I think blood thinners to stop us from dying of a stroke would be fair game too.
