you guys are taking the whole "every single human in the entire world" part pretty lightly. you think you could evade the FBI and CIA by hiding out in a pre-fabricated shelter on property that they know your family owns?

Brah - it wouldn't even be that much of a challenge around here. I'd buy 5 days worth of food at Wal-Mart - and I know just the spot I can get to to hole up. No cellphone and I would disconnect the battery to my car once I'm situated.

How much do I win?

That's the whole point of this and why you get a one hour head start.

I thought about heading to the coast and trying to live on a boat in the GOM. But satellites would be able to scan the gulf and I would be found.

Best I've got...

Drop kayak off at MS river. Drive back to house. Ditch phone. Ride bike to kayak. Toss bike in the river. Kayak down the river a ways. Get out. Let kayak keep going.

Or go to skydiving facility. Take parachute. Hijack a plane. Once at cruising altitude and autopilot set. Kick pilot out. Jump out into the woods a little while later and let the plane keep going.

sure, no problem. i was completely making it up, like 99% of my posts on the OT...except that last one, i honestly believe hiding at your hunting camp is laughably bad and by far the worst answer given yet.

Maybe not in 5 days though. Steal a boat someone won't immediately miss and just hope nobody zeroes in on the gulf in time.

This hypo is only fun if there is some reason to it. I get that you have to avoid the attention of everyone, but that still doesn't mean all resources can be used in all places simultaneously.

A decent enough disguise in the open will probably work with some decent success rate (maybe 10-30%). Homeless in NYC for example.

Pros:

Average person will ignore you
Disguise is easy
Location is easy

Cons:

Police (who all have their focus on finding you) will at some point put "canvassing the homeless community" on their list of priorities, but perhaps not within 5 days.

Your goal is to remain unfound for 5 days. How would you do this?



Awesome hypothetical. Might be more fun to say you start in midtown Manhattan or something like that.

Shave my head and grow a beard for starters and then die both it and my eyebrows grey, then head to Canada and live in the wilderness. Have a massive dent in my head and scars all over it, to where that would likely make people want to turn away and not look at me.

Let's say if you are able to hide out you receive $1B dollars. This is the ultimate reality show.

That's a lot of shite for 1hr/5 days.

But living in the woods is probably the best overall answer, considering this is 5 days. Obviously this would have better success than real life evasions because your need to remain hidden isn't time limited in those scenarios.

Majority of the world would be looking in your city. If they focused on Louisiana alone, every square mile could have 136 thousand people allocated to it. You would be found. Louisiana is 130 miles wide. They could make an unreal amount of lines standing hand to hand and searching every inch of the state. Unless you could teleport to another continent without any one knowing you could, your arse stands zero chance of not being found. Literally the only thing resembling a chance would be to hide in plain sight and fall in with the same people looking for you.
