1. Sit down and watch a double feature movie without eatting or drinking anything

. ., not at all.

2. Invite a friend over and then don't offer them anything

That's rude! I would have to offer them something out of politeness.

3. Ask someone to meet you to talk about something between the hours of 11am to 1pm and do not eat anything

That is debatable. It depends on what kind of get together we're having. If it's business-ish or a study get together, then probably not simply because those situations would not need the distraction. If it was just a friendly "Hey, let's get together and chat", then yeah I'd make a lunch ordeal.

4. Invite everyone to the dinner table, let them know it is going to be a special 'feast', when they are there invite them to fast for the hungry in Africa by giving up dinner.

. ., no. I couldn't do that to somebody.

Hercules could not complete these tasks, . Food is almost necessary for social interaction in today's society. It is strange that in this world where we have so many recreational activities and past times, that 90 percent of everything we do in a social setting revolves around food or alcohol. It is an interesting challenge, though, and I look forward to trying the last task.

This is a hard one, as it is seen as polite to offer food when you have guests round, so I'd say that food is pretty important to me.


1. Sit down and watch a double feature movie without eating or drinking anything

Answer---I would be able to do this sometimes, but as it's more of a habit to have 'goodies' while I'm watching a film, it would be hard not to have any snacks!


2. Invite a friend over and then don't offer them anything

Answer---No, I couldn't do that at all, that would be totally rude!


3. Ask someone to meet you to talk about something between the hours of 11am to 1pm and do not eat anything

Answer---This is probably the only one that I wouldn't find hard resisting to! Not eating between these hours would not bother me at all.



4. Invite everyone to the dinner table, let them know it is going to be a special 'feast', when they are there invite them to fast for the hungry in Africa by giving up dinner.

Answer---No way! I don't have that many close friends anyway, and I wouldn't want to lose the ones I do have!
If I had already told everyone there was no food on offer, as we were donating to charity instead, that's a different matter, at least they wouldn't be shocked when no food arrived, but I wouldn't like to willingly mislead somebody!

I could do it but I wouldn't want to. Going without drinking something would be more difficult than going without eating. I almost always have a bottle of water or a diet soda going.

It would depend upon the time of day and occasion. I would most certainly offer something to drink, but not necessarily food.

During these hours I would, most likely, suggest we make it a meeting over lunch. However, I could and have met for business during these hours without food or drink. I just planned accordingly and ate either before or after.

I don't see the difficulty in this one. Fasting for one meal is not that hard and if it is for a good cause it becomes even easier.

1. I do that on a regular basis. I go to movies to watch the movie not eat and drink while I am there. I have found that is a very good way to gain weight. Plus I do not like popcorn.

2. I find that to be rude. I will always ask if I can get them something to drink. I may not have snacks but offering them a drink is important in my book.

3. I can do this. I have lots of things going on in my life where I may have a meeting scheduled for that time frame. I will not eat in these cases until I get back from the meeting or appointment.

4. this I will never do. I am very selective on those I consider friends. If they want to fight hunger or I want to I will do it a much different way.
