nytimes has this article about the "death race" in vermont. its this creation of riddles and memory quizzes and physical endurance meant to test the limits of the participants.
"The course spanned 10 miles of mountain trails, ravines, lakes, underbrush and a burnt-out thicket known as the Labyrinth. The physical challenges included digging holes, chopping wood and hauling encumbrances like bicycles, tree stumps and buckets of gravel. The riddles included naming American presidents, assembling Lego structures from memory and cooking without modern tools. Each of the 14 tasks was expected to take two hours. A 24-hour time limit was set. Mathematically speaking, the designers considered their course all but impossible."
i hate everyone who enters this race. and i guess that patrick halley loves all of them. watch the video.
