You cant talk for a year.

The only way you can communicate with others is through sign language ( if you know it ) or writing stuff down.

Not a single word for 365 days.

If you talk in your sleep i guess thats allowed.

Lets say you stand to gain an exorbitant amount of money if you do this.

Could you?

My luck if I tried ...on the 364th day I would stub my toe and yell out something and blow the deal. :P

I'd not mind it

Just think about the sheer amount of focus and determination this would take. Every breath would have to be pre planned and every action would have to be forecasted ahead of time to make sure you didnt slip up.

Another question this poses would be could you forget how to talk, would your vocal chords stop working and if so how long would this take?

Define "exorbitant" and we'll talk.

lol, I made a funny.

Lets say more money than 1 person could plausibly spend in 1 lifetime.

Well I'll put it this way. I don't think I can go half an hour without talking (unless I'm sleeping) so I'd have no chance of lasting a whole year! It'd be an achievement for me to even go a whole day without talking:roll:COD4_Shinedown

Same here :P I lost my voice once and everyone commented on how quiet it was until I got it back :P

Then sure. If I lose my voice then I'll simply buy a new one.

Yeah, I would, since I'm pretty much a loner that stays at home all the time anyways.Zaeryn

Maybe if I had my vocal cords removed. But you better not welch out on the deal on the last day.

/obvious Twilight Zone reference

absolutely

I work with a deaf guy every night - I am already used to it

It would have to an incredible amount of money (at least 10 million before I would even consider) but I think I could do it.Grodus5

yes. i am almost always the quiet one in the group, and when i do talk people hardly listen to me, so i would be just finedante_123456

I don't talk much either, both because I'm a bit on the shy side when I first meet people, and because I tend to listen/analyse more than talk. Thing is, people listen to what I say when I speak because I speak with conviction, I'm confident in what I say... maybe that's why people don't listen to you, you don't sound like whatever you're saying is important to you?

I could probably get through a couple months of silence. I don't know if I'd make it a whole year. :P

Maybe for more money than i could possibly spend in my lifetime.

(Not that it would be SO hard for me because i'm pretty quiet most of the time. I'm just greedy.:P)

What would you do during "a certain three letter word ending in x"?

Use sign language?, Ha Ha!

It's not like it's gonna be easy meeting up new people if you don't talk... possible, but very hard

Unless you already have a girlfriend who pushes you to do the deal, then that's a different story, but then again

1. she's gonna help you not talk

2. You can already know that you're only gonna see half of the money you'll win,'cause she'll drug you, marry you while you're high and run away with half your money when she divorces you.
