lastonestanding.com gives you the chance to win cash prizes just by sitting at your computer. For a long time.
Competitors log onto the website and compete in endurance events against 999 others. An entry fee of £2 is charged per competitor.
As the competition commences, each player has to confirm
their attendance when prompted by the web page. This occurs randomly, but with no gap greater than 2 minutes between two prompts. To eradicate cheating, competitors will use the fingerprint reader built into their laptop (or buy an external one) to swipe confirmation of their attendance.
If a competitor misses a prompt and does not swipe their finger within 2 seconds of that prompt, they are out of the competition.
The winner is the last person standing (or sitting). They win £1,000.
I keep the other £1,000, and everyone's happy.

I wonder how long people can stand for? Just stand still.
Competition in which standers stand to stand for the longest
time. Stand. |

In addition to the fingerprint scanner and to allay the fears of [21], I suggest a webcam and for the random prompt to contain an instruction for the competitor to pose...
As a tiger! <Growl> ... |

As a teapot! <here's my handle, here's my XXXX> Erk! |

[calum], I remember reading a Charlie Brooker rant about
Touch the Truck. Brilliant. |

I suppose it would help to have a lappy and wifi. Then I needn't rush through the bog for my morning grinder. |

What 21 Q said, and what Jinbish said. |
|

The fingerprint scanner doesn't help to protect against cheating (in general, biometrics aren't secure unless you and a unbribe-able guard are in the same physical space as the biometric scanner), but the posing would - and actually make the whole thing rather interesting to watch. In a trashy, voyeuristic, car-crashy way. |

Do you realize we've stumbled onto a whole new genre here? Gameshows with participants on webcam. I'm sure we'll see more of that in the future. |

what did 21 say and why has it been deleted? |
