Winston Churchill famously called Russia a riddle,
wrapped
in a mystery, inside an enigma.
Similarly, a turducken is a dish consisting of a deboned
chicken stuffed into a deboned duck, further stuffed into
a
deboned turkey
On this Thanksgiving Day, I give you a diet that, like
Nutrisystem,
ships every meal to your door -- or perhaps
a
smart lock on your fridge -- with the only provision that
the
container containing the food must be opened by solving
some sort of puzzle.
Solving the puzzle may or may not involve physical
activity
-- the main goal is that it would be sufficiently
challenging
that you wouldn't be able to eat at will, and perhaps
graduated per number of daily meals.
We'll guarantee you'll lose 30 pounds in 30 days, or a
membership in Mensa.

Tampering with the puzzles may result in reduced
availability for future meals |

Clive Barker is trying to get the film rights for this as we
speak. Anyone for Pinhead pasta? |
|
|
Ponders about pizza and piazza, one is not so hard on the
teeth, I forget which. |

I think the problem with fat people (and I number myself
amongst them, at least at an amateur level) is that they
actually like eating. So, asking them to voluntarily install a
system that will limit their access to food is unlikely to be a
flyer. |
|

Oh, wait - you didn't actually say "voluntarily". |

[maxwellbuchanan] I read that metformin causes weight
loss [link]. I seem to remember 12 lbs a year. |

I have read your knowledgeable comments on life extension
technologies, so you already likely know it makes lab
mammals live 5-36% longer. |
|
|
Not that I would suggest that you contribute 1/3 more
halfbakery ideas during your lifetime... :) |

//knowledgeable comments// That is an outrageous
accusation. |
|
|
I've improved the offering, now including lose 30 pounds in
30 days, or you get a Mensa membership |
|
|
Actually, it looks to me like you're saying you'll lose one or the other. |

What ever happened to Extelligence? |

Probably not all of them, but for the more challenging ones it may be necessary to switch to 2.5 kg of RDX. |
