Ok... If you were stranded on an island which would you rather have?

Choice A:

A chess engine (chess set wouldn't do much good by yourself),

an unlimited supply of red wine and beef,

and a copy of your favorite book.

Choice B:

An Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, etc... with any 4 non chess games of your choice, an unlimited supply of chips and cola, and your favorite pillow.

You are on the island for 10 years. Choose wisely.

B

i would have to take option A but this isnt a fair question, if the video games was with the beef i would definately take that, but for the question at hand A for sure

make that red wine and cheese(I don't eat meat) and I'll take option 1. Favorite book: The Brothers Karamozov

I believe anyone eating ONLY chips and cola would definitely get a heartattack or a diabetic-coma before 10 years time.

Besides.. why would I want a Wii in a stranded island? not like I'm going to be able to plug it anywere.

So yeah.. definitely A. But with some kind of how-to-build-a-raft-in-5-easy-steps book

make that some beer instead of soda and i will take option B. i may never truly master chess but i can master some games (and it would take about 10 years to complete 4!)

I would take beef over chips any day.

Chess is probably the only game I could play for 10 years and not get bored with it.

The Bible is the only book I could read multiple times for 10 years and still maintain an interest.

With enuf red wine, I could probably forget how bored I was. 

I guess I'm going with A.
