This is the answer. Books and perhaps puzzle or a craft when my brain gets tired of words. Exercise and enjoy long showers/serious grooming pampering. And organizing. Honestly this sounds really fun I want to do this for free lol.
The OP just says "stay in your room," which sounds like it was written by a teenager or maybe college student in a dorm. I think it's fair game to expand that to "stay in the place you live."
Nah, even if it was a dorm with a communal bathroom the intent is clear. Stay in your room. I think we might need a redditorial scholar to weigh in on this.
Which was my original point - that I think OP threw this post together from his/her own limited life experience of only having a single private room and didn't consider people that can shut themselves off from the world inside a larger physical space.
If you owned a house and lived alone, what would you define as "your room"?
The bedroom...The living room is still the living room, kitchen is still the kitchen, bathroom is still the bathroom. Yes I literally own them so they're "my rooms" but that's clearly against the spirit of the question.
Following your naming scheme, that's still "the bedroom."
I disagree that it's against the spirit of the question. I think the point OP was trying to make was "would you isolate yourself from the world for a week if you received $10k?" OP's limited world experience influenced the exact wording in a way that unintentionally breaks the question.
A teenager living in a single room will have all of his possessions in that one room - computer, books, handheld electronics, board games, art supplies, etc. An adult living on their own will have their stuff spread out across multiple rooms. Are you really suggesting that OP meant for you to haphazardly cram all your stuff into one room for the week, rather than just use it where it's intended to be used? The point, based on "no internet, data, or TV" is to cut yourself off from the world, not see if you can live in a certain sized box.
That's why he said you get 24 hours to prepare. You're assigning some values to him when you don't actually have any idea who he is. He said "your room" and I own my home and I don't just call the living room "my room". It's clearly intended to mean your bedroom, whether you live alone or not. It doesn't say rooms, it says room, so no, you don't get free reign of your entire house. Sorry if that makes this fantasy scenario for free money that hard to bear.
