    People who set challenges like this just don’t understand money. $100,000,000 will buy you and everyone in your family a house, a car, food, drink, hobbies, holidays, almost anything you could conceivably want for the rest of your life. And that’s even if you blow it all and don’t even bother investing. It’s an insane amount of money. 30 seconds for five years is 15 hours. That’s a pay rate of $6,600,000 an hour. Just to be in the sea.

      Nah, these seemingly easy scenarios are telling you something about the author. They have a phobia of deep water, and don’t realize it.

      it doesn’t say what part of the sea, just random… so you’ll almost certainly be crushed to death in the first week, considering that most of the ocean is too deep for you to survive 30 seconds.

      if it was always floating on the top that would be a good deal… i can hold my breath for 30 seconds so even a storm probably wouldn’t kill me.

          Vast majority of sea life lives near coastlines - because that is precisely where current disruptions create easily accessible nutrients.

          Out in the middle of the ocean there is really very little. Migratory animals moving between destinations mostly.

            Also even 30 seconds gives you a fair bit of time even around predatory animals. Seems relatively safe bet for anyone without my luck. There’s a reason I never gamble.

            Even with predatory animals may take them 20 seconds to figure out what’s happening…you got cash to burn.
