man I get bored after 10 minutes. I'd lose my mind. Only way to make it is to almost go to a place of insanity in a dream like state
Brodie your sleep cycle will be heavily disrupted in consistent darknessMane that shyt easy, all you need to do is eat,sleep,shyt.beat yo dikk , and repeat for the next 30 god damn days.
Nah, I'd rather do The Coli 30 day wilderness challenge, 30 days in pitch darkness would be too boring, I'd go for a few days then negotiate my $10k

The Contract:
Exclusive: An Inside Look at the Contract for the $100K Solitary Confinement Bet | The Action Network
Last week, the $100,000 solitary confinement bet between poker players Rory Young and Rich Alati garnered a ton of attention, including from us here at The Action Network. We interviewed Alati’s father Richard, the only person in Alati’s family who is allowed to know where his son is staying.
Today, we obtained the 11-page contract between Young and Alati, with the length speaking to exactly how serious of a wager this is.
To refresh: The two bet $100,000 on whether Alati could stay in a dark, enclosed space without any connection to the outside world for 30 days.
If he lasts the whole time, Alati wins $100,000. If he doesn’t, he pays Young $100,000.
Monday marks the 19th day Alati is in the room.
Here are the highlights of the contract:
Darren: So it was said that this place where you stayed was in Las Vegas. Where exactly was it and what type of room were you in?
Alati: I was in a bathroom in a house in Henderson, Nev., which we rented on AirBnB. We took the bathroom and had a contractor come in to build the room so it was boarded up, soundproofed and blacked out.
Darren: How big was the bathroom?
Alati: It was your standard master bathroom coming off a bedroom in a nice place.
Darren: On Nov. 21, you entered the room. Something that I didn’t get is, if it was completely dark and there wasn’t a light in the fridge, how did you see what you ate? How did you know where things were?
Alati: So I flew in two days prior from the Bahamas and spend some time familiarizing myself where things were — the faucet and the bath. I’m really good at memorization, so I then arranged the room and remembered where things were. I set up the clothes in one place, my food in another and the toiletries in another.
Darren: And walking around?
Alati: The first couple of days, I pretty much crawled. I was feeling around a lot. But then I got accustomed to it and got cocky and bumped my head a couple times. Nothing major.
Darren: How many cameras were in there to monitor you?
Alati: There were four to five cameras. Some of them were going 24/7, while others were motion detected. Then there was a testimonial camera. That’s where I could talk and it could be heard. If Rory wanted to talk to me, he could talk through that, as well.
Darren: I know your father and your two sisters had access to watch the camera on a closed circuit feed. Did you ever talk to them?
Alati: My family wanted me to talk to the camera like three to four times a day and I was initially OK with that. But on what I think was around Day 3, I started hallucinating and I was so focused from that day until what was probably Day 10 because I didn’t want to lose my mind.
"Hallucinations were one of the most-expected occurrences according to those who had experienced such isolation previously, and sure enough it was only 3 days in before Alati’s mind began playing tricks on him.
“It started with shapes and colors,” he told Rovell. “Then I saw a train. And I just had to convince myself it wasn’t real”.
He also revealed one strange moment when “the room was filled with all these white bubbles”. Aware that is was just his imagination running riot, the Vegas poker pro decided:
“I’m going to go along with it and I had a fun bubble party".

Monday marks the 19th day Alati is in the room.
Here are the highlights of the contract:
- The two put the $100,000 in escrow with a lawyer prior to start of the bet, which was Nov. 21. The winner gets the money within a week of the bet being settled.
- Both Young and Alati chose a representative from their side to represent their best interest.
- A three-judge arbitration panel has been named in case there is any dispute about the bet.
- The document has a waiver that absolves Young from responsibility for anything that Alati endures including “death, disability, blindness, diminished vision, loss of any eye function” as well as mental and emotional trauma.
- The room where Alati is staying, referred to as the chamber, features a mattress, shower, bath, laundry and trash basket, and a fridge with the lights removed.
- Alati is not allowed to use drugs, any communication/light-emitting devices and must not have any object that conveys time or date.
- Alati submitted to a blood or urine test before entering room and Young may take a sample from him every time there is a delivery. Tests are allowed to show Alati’s pre-workout supplement and amino acids, but nothing else that’s not in proportion.
- Alati will get food delivered in between three- and six-day intervals. It has been randomized so Alati can’t figure out how long he’s been in the room.
- Alati can request certain foods, but Young may decline those requests.
- The loser of the bet pays the expenses for the wager — upwards of $7,000.
