Q: Why Is The Game Clock So Important?
Why was it so important to
find out
how much time we have left?
A: Because the players have created and
detonated a time-bomb. The countdown process
has already begun. Although I don't know
exactly when it is going to go off, it is going
to go off. It would be smart to plan on it
going off in the next 12-32 years.
If you have a chance at solving the problem and
winning this game, you must understand the self-imposed
time constraint. Most players of this game
get caught in the denial stage... like a cancer
patient or alcoholic.
In order to come up with
an adequate solution, you will need to believe
that the game clock is true. You will need to move
past the denial stage and admit -- the players
have done irreversible damage to their environment
that may cause all players to be eliminated within
the next 12 years (and will cause all players to be
eliminated within 32 years.)
Therefore, elimination of the offending players
will not help the situation. And, a good answer
will solve the problem within 32 years. An ultimate,
"grand prize winning"
solution must be completed within 12 years.
