How long would it take you to reduce all of your possessions to a pile of rubble?

Back to Survey


You get a sledgehammer to use for most things. For major appliances, automobiles and such, you may use an oxy-acetylene torch. You have to do this all by yourself, with the exception of anything which is joint-owned, in which case the other owner may assist. When you have finished, everything must be able to be passed through a ring 10 cm in diameter. (That's about 4 inches.) If you own real estate, buildings, trees, rocks etc. are included, provided that they are above ground. Assume that you are trying to do this as quickly as humanly possible.

I suppose it's because some people would be offended by the idea of having to contemplate the destruction of all their possessions by their own hand.
