You are approached by a head-hunting organization and offered a new job. This job only requires you to work Monday-Friday 10am to 2pm. The benefits are comparable to your current job, and they are offering you twice your current annual salary.
Your only duty will be to sit in a windowless 7ft by 7ft room. You will sit doing nothing for four hours a day. The room is empty expect for a standard office chair. You may not bring anything into the room with you. No books. No cell phone. Nothing. You may move around as much as the small room allows, but you may not sleep.

Can I excercise? Sure. As much as a 7ft x 7ft room allows anyway.
Can I leave the room at all? You will have two 15-minute breaks and a 30-minute lunch each day.

Fun 🙂
