[Next entry: "The Poughkeepsie Crusoe Challenge"]

06/24/2002 Entry: "Live *within* a bathroom for a week"

At no time must any part of your body cross the doorway or windowsill. You
must remain completely within the confines of the bathroom at all times.

You can have a phone, computer, set up a TV in the hallway, a mattress,
extension cord, whatever. People can bring you food, books, or anything you
want. BUT whatever enters the bathroom must stay in the bathroom for the
full duration of the challenge. (Including other people.) If anything leaves
the bathroom by any path other tham plumbing, you fail.

At the beginning of the week the bathroom must be "normal" - no preparations
or alterations may be made from the bathroom's day-to-day setup.
The bathroom must be "normal" sized - no luxury hotel suite bathrooms with
couches and Olympic-sizd hot tubs. The smaller the better.

If the plumbing breaks during the week, you may move to a new bathroom. This
travel time must be as brief as possible and will not count against you.

DURATION: One week - one 168 hour period. Both challenges begin and end at
the same time.

There will be no communication to the participants of whether the other
participant has quit or not.

If nobody quits and you both make it, no penalty.
If one of you quits, and one makes the full week, the one who quit has to
shave his entire body for three months.
If you both quit, the one who quit FIRST has to shave his head, one time
only.
