You are offered ten million dollars to re-live the same day for ten years straight.

This is a groundhog day type of situation, but you’re committed to ten years of repeating the same day. There’s no getting out once you’ve agreed. If you die, that day is scrapped and you have to repeat it so there’s no way to speed up the process.

Each day resets at 7:00 am at which time you will wake up in your bed, regardless of what happened and where you were when the time reset. The previous “day” is essentially erased and you start each new “day” exactly the same. Assume you got a good night’s sleep. Any resources used will be replenished during the reset. Food, money, etc.

No meaningful physical changes will occur. You will not age. Any injuries you sustain during the day will disappear at the 7:00 am reset. If you contract any infectious diseases they will also disappear. This also means that the effects of anything you eat or drink are negated. You can eat like garbage without gaining weight, and you could binge drink every night and never suffer a hangover. You could do hard drugs every day without a single impact to your health.

You can learn, develop new skills, and create new habits. You could learn a new language or pick up a new instrument, and muscle memory can be developed. However, the “no meaningful physical changes” constraint means that your body will not physically adapt to any new activities. You will not develop caluses from learning guitar. You will not get stronger in the gym, and you cannot lose weight. This also means that while you will not become physically addicted to any substances you consume, psychological addictions or habits could theoretically occur.

The only exception to the daily reset is a journal and pen that will persist through each day. Anything written in the journal will persist through the ten years, and no matter what the journal will be next to your bed when you wake up every morning.

When the ten years is up, time will resume for you like normal. Obviously no one else will be aware of what has happened for you, but you will remember the last ten years as you normally would. Ten million dollars will be deposited in you bank account tax free and will require no reporting or justification to the IRS.

Do you take the deal? If you do, how do you spend that ten years?

Edit: You don’t get to pick the ideal day. It’s just some average day over the last few weeks. But you can choose the day of the week, like a Friday or Saturday for instance.

Also, your actions on the final day will stick, and you are responsible for tracking time on your own. If you do something horrible on the last day at the end of the cycle because you were expecting a reset, you’ll have to deal with the consequences. Use your journal wisely.
