Ask me about my vow of silence.

Okay, ages back when the sun was in its dwarf stage and the people were friendly and the food was good I did an experiment with the one tool i have which is properly insured, me.

To catch up if you missed the first part, click "Das Experiment".

Formula used ( umm, made up ) –

Accuracy value = No of correct questions answered correctly * 2.46 + 0.345

Time value = Actual time taken for 10 questions in minutes

Brain value = ( ( accuracy value ) / ( time value ) ) * 82.34

Brain power = (Brain value / Initial brain value ) taken on a scale of 10

Exceptions –

As a “normal” human, the body does need some minimum rest, so tabulate the hours slept, and subtract the value from total awake hours.

Observations -

I spent over 4 days without sleep (well basically very little sleep) with more than 75% of accuracy levels than my initial start. It did go down in the middle ( day three ) but I did sleep longer then ( 3 hours ) and was back up to full potential.

Surprising how versatile the human body is.

So what did happen in those 90 odd hours without sleep ( <>

1. I stalled my car in the middle of the road and a motorist rammed into my car.

2. I paid 900 Rs to this guy I owed 853 rupees, he asked for 3 rs change, I said I didn’t have. But I did have a 50 Rs note, I gave him that and took 3 rs from him.

Honestly, I didn’t realize this till hours later in office, trust me, the weird looks he gave me also didn’t give me any clues.

3. I got lost near my house, inspite of living there for 2 years.

4. I was deciding whether to take a left turn into a parking lot or go on straight, and I couldn’t decide quickly enough, lets just say, that’s one hit and run case I want to forget fast. ( to be completely honest, that was a white car, and I barely scraped it, I mean compared to the scratch on my car the one on that car was nothing )

5. I bought my friends lunch ( expensive ) for no reason.

6. I hit a pole with my car.

7. I was genuinely worried for no apparent reason.

8. I made good friends with people on the night shift..

9. Amazingly no bugs at work during the experiment stages, come to think of it, I don’t know what I did.

90 odd hours awake, long lasting friendships, remarkable brain power... Apart from the three car accidents I had, and the experiment costs(in coffees, lunch and stupid calculations) going way above expected, I present you with the results…

Results –

I am smart, you probably aren't. Have a great day.

Oh and don’t try this at home.

And I haven’t touched my car ever since.

Don’t tell anyone this, it was my dad’s car, and he’s not in station. Yet another reason to write anonymously.
