I'm pretty sure it affected the clock speed for me when I tried it...

Another point - maybe the Dalai Lama would succumb to death, but would that make him wrong? He lived for a day but gained all wisdom, vs. he lived for 20 more years in ignorance. Is the purpose of life just to live longer? Why would you settle to have all knowledge for 3 short days when you could h...

Instead of just asking the random street shmoes and the Dalai Lama the theoretical trial questions, imagine this scenario: You physically put them in a remote and harsh environment, and you allow them bring along only ONE item to ensure they survive the LONGEST amount of time. You cannot assume tha...

It doesn't even have to be a decision based on a desert island scenario. What do you spend your money on right now by priority? Obviously one needs to eat. You need to buy groceries to have energy for anything. You buy a house, rent an apartment, pay rent, pay property taxes, etc, or what have you ...

I know for a fact that my wife would berate me for the rest of my life if I chose a sandwich over the book of all knowledge. But what would your wife do if she had the choice between "no food" or "no knowledge"? The knowledge book and the jewel are both means to ends, while food...

You have to feed the eagle to get through the game. However, there are two food sources (as you mentioned) and you get a single point for acquiring each item (regardless of whether or not you use it). OK, I didn't get the fish, that was the point I missed. I saw a fisherman sleeping at the dock at ...

Why did Al Lowe turn down the cameo? That surprises me...

On that note, I was a bit disappointed that after being able to talk to the storekeeper for 10 years about his whole life story and Manannan and whatever, there was no way to go back afterwards and tell him that Mannannan was a cat and he didn't have to live his life in fear anymore. Or walk into th...

I got this wrong on the first try also (I got it on the second try) and here's why: The setup of the puzzle doesn't say, which of these is more valuable ON A DESERT ISLAND. It says which is more valuable in general. I know for a fact that my wife would berate me for the rest of my life if I chose a ...
