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.-- jtp, Nov 12 2009 Touch The Truck http://en.wikipedia...iki/Touch_the_Truck [calum, Nov 12 2009] +Yes.-- blissmiss, Nov 12 2009 I wonder how long people can stand for? Just stand still. Competition in which standers stand to stand for the longest time. Stand.-- theleopard, Nov 12 2009 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!
etc...-- Jinbish, Nov 12 2009 [calum], I remember reading a Charlie Brooker rant about Touch the Truck. Brilliant.-- theleopard, Nov 12 2009 I suppose it would help to have a lappy and wifi. Then I needn't rush through the bog for my morning grinder.-- bdag, Nov 12 2009 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.-- jutta, Nov 12 2009 what did 21 say and why has it been deleted?
ok. my miss. I found the answer on Answers.-- pashute, Jan 13 2016 random, halfbakery
