I know those guys love strange bets but this is the weirdest challenge I have ever heard about. Would you do it?

Two poker players recently engaged in a $100,000 bet to see if one of them could live for 30 days inside a pitch-black bathroom in complete isolation.
Professional poker player Rich Alati accepted Rory Young's bet while playing at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Alati agreed to pay Young the hefty sum if he failed to stay the entire 30 days inside the room.
Alati and Young agreed on the following terms: Alati would be delivered food from a local restaurant at irregular intervals to prevent him from keeping track of time. There would be no television, radio or phone; he would be able to have a yoga mat and massage ball. Alati’s father would also monitor him via video feed and could pull his son out at any time.
Psychologists said that living in solitary confinement for a prolonged period of time would be “extremely taxing” on Alati’s mental health. But Alati wasn’t worried—he had been a practitioner of meditation and yoga, a skill he believed would help him remain calm throughout the experience.
At the 10 day mark, Young began to worry he may lose the bet, noting how Alati looked “totally fine.” Young decided to make his rival an offer on day 15: $50,000 to leave the room.
After spending over two weeks in dark isolation, suffering bouts of hallucinations and several moments of despair, Alati confidently declined the offer. The two continued negotiations, and on day 20 Alati accepted Young’s $62,400 to leave.

That's just mean
I like to think I would be able to do it and if 100k we're bet on it, I would be damn sure to do it. Won't be easy though.
I'd consider it cheating if they deliver food as soon as he fell asleep every time to prevent him from getting prolonged sleep.

I don't know how much I would require to potentially go insane, but it's a hell of a lot more than $100k. Also, I don't even know if potential is required in the previous sentence. It would certainly take me less than a week to freak the frick out.

That’s pretty strange, but the guy who got breast implants for a year was worse.

It’s like those scenes in Rat Race when they keep making all of the weird bets.

The dark part would get to me. Unless we are talking not completely pitch black.
ETA - I see it is pitch black. frick all that. I'd try it for a week. Otherwise he's going to have to up that amount.

I don’t know if I’d consider this complete isolation.

give me a computer and internet and this is a no brainer, but as described? Hell no. He can keep his 100k.
