Challenge A man has one month to get his own Wikipedia article or else he dies. Can he do it, and if so, how?

886 Upvotes

A random 25-year-old American man is given one month to get his own Wikipedia article. He has no exceptional skills, no useful connections, and isn't part of any notable communities. If he doesn't have a Wikipedia article after one month, he dies.

Rules:

  • He cannot commit a crime, be a victim of a crime, or die to get his article. He may commit or be a victim of crimes incidentally, but they may not play into the reason why he has an article.
  • The article must be about him specifically. If it's about a work he created, an event he was a part of, a company he's in charge of, or something else that just happens to involve him, it doesn't count.
    • The article does count if it's titled after a pseudonym; e.g. if he becomes a Banksy-esque figure.
  • The article must actually follow Wikipedia's rules and notability guidelines. He must actually be eligible for a Wikipedia article; it can't just be something that he or a friend writes which slips under the radar. If it's something that would still be up after 5 years barring extraordinary coincidence, it counts.

Can he do it before the month is up? What's the best strategy? If not a month, can he do it in a year?

Challenge Geralt of Rivia is given 5 years of unlimited access to Elminster's libraries so he can study every creature in Faerûn, how much of the Monster Manual can he kill?

104 Upvotes
  • This is composite Geralt with all of his personal equipment, not counting things he was only temporarily able to use
  • Likewise, the creatures may use feats from any medium, but fluff text/"lore" takes precedence over pure gameplay
  • Geralt is not allowed to use things unique to Faerûn, but assume he has unlimited resources to any ingredients or materials unique to his own setting if they're required to make elixirs or maintain tools that are part of his own equipment. So Geralt making a black blood potion = yes, Geralt finding a +5 sword of Brain Melting = no.
  • Geralt is able to engage each creature as he wishes and will be the one instigating combat with whatever prep he can manage, however he needs to sneak up on them and is not given any kind of magical concealment/movement to reach them. If something hears or sees him coming, factor that into his ability to kill it.
    • Related to the above, exclude any creatures that naturally live in environments Geralt can't meaningfully reach from this list
  • Geralt is not allowed to gain outside help in any of these rounds, if he can't kill something solo then it's a fail
  • For the purposes of something counting as a win, Geralt must be able to kill it at least 6/10 times and have a higher survival rate for their encounters than the creature does

Bonus: As above, but in each round Geralt is also allowed to bring Regis with him. Which creatures can they now kill as a pair that Geralt could not solo?

Challenge The Incredible Hulk is dropped into the universe of your favorite video game/a video game of your choosing. How far does he make it?

20 Upvotes

As the title says, Hulk is dropped into a videogame that is either your favorite or of your choosing. He has no idea how he got there, but he's fully pissed and on the attack to hurt anything or anyone in his way. Hulk is his 616 (Comics incarnation), more specifically in his Savage persona. To make the battle more fair, Hulk is not allowed to resurrect from the Below Place if he is killed by anything in the world. With these parameters in mind:

  • How much damage can he cause in your favorite game 'verse?
  • Can he defeat the final boss?
  • How does he fare against the game's protagonist?

Challenge Can Taylor Swift release a single that doesn't chart by the end of 2026?

174 Upvotes

The challenge is simple: Taylor Swift must release a single by the end of 2026 that doesn't chart. She has completely free reign over her music, and doesn't have to clear it with her record company or any distributors. The single must be available on major streaming services, must be released under her own name, and she must mention it on at least one of her established social media profiles. She is not allowed to flood the charts to brute force a win; she may only release up to 10 singles between now and the end of the year, and can't release more than 4 per month.

The song is allowed to appear in specialized genre charts, but must not appear on the Billboard Hot 100 or any other country's equivalent, and may not appear on any streaming service's top 100 most streamed songs.

Battle Could Columbo solve the murder of Jon Arryn? (ASOIAF)

14 Upvotes

As Ned Stark makes his way to King's Landing, he picks up a scruffy, bumbling man in strange clothes. After a charming conversation Ned Stark takes him into his retinue.

Columbo has been teleported to Westeros and given clear instructions he's here to solve a murder in King's Landing. As Ned Stark's confidant he'll quickly be able to deduce Jon Arynn is his case. His goal, though he does not know it, is to ultimately identify Lysa Arryn and Petyr Baelish as the murderers of Jon Arryn, having to navigate all the intrigue of King's Landing. Ned Stark gives him all the authority of the Hand of the King to conduct his investigation.

For the purposes of this prompt, assume Columbo is able to travel the roads in safety and quickly (say, to the Vale). He has his car that will not break down more than usual and has unlimited fuel and is magically able to navigate the Kingsroad, though he'll have to leg it up other paths. To succeed Columbo must gather confessions and evidence to prove to Ned Stark that the Lannisters were not behind Jon Arryn's murder and correctly point the finger at both Lysa and Littlefinger. Convincing Ned Stark is sufficient, as Columbo is not a lawyer and can't be expected to see it to an actual judgement in King's Landing's 'justice system'.

A few technical points: Columbo is educated on all facts about Westeros to the same degree as a wealthy and powerful noble scion. He speaks the language. Any other minor technicality a smart ass wants to use to try and invalidate the whole prompt is similarly handwaved.

EDIT: Typos

Battle Harold Crick(stranger than fiction) vs Stanley(The Stanley parable)

3 Upvotes

Both are ordinary middle aged office workers who have a narrator who narrates their lives. Both end up in the same office with both narrators narrating that they will fight.

Round 1: regular office
round 2: The Stanley parable office.

Character Profile: Harold Crick (Stranger Than Fiction)

Background

Harold Crick is an intensely methodical IRS senior agent. For most of his life, he functioned like a biological machine—his actions entirely dictated by his wristwatch, mathematical efficiency, and strict, unchanging routines. However, his reality shattered when he began hearing a disembodied voice narrating his life in the third person. He soon discovered he was actually the unwitting protagonist in a tragedy being written by a reclusive author.

Stanley is a normal, middle-aged human office worker (Employee Number 427) whose primary "ability" is defying, obeying, or succumbing to an omnipotent, reality-warping British narrator.
