    One month without the kids and my wife? Heck, I’d even pay $100K for this.

      Would I do it? Heck, yeah. With hardback books and a stack of loaded Kindles and a good complex yoga routine? Piece of cake.

        Could I do it?

        Heck, I've done it. I was younger, though.

            I'll build a bunk in my garden shed for you, Klaus. Get your bank account ready to make the money transfer to my account.

                    Piece of cake. I wouldn’t even need books. Art supplies would be nice - or at least paper would be nice - (I could make my own drawing and painting materials) Would prefer it not to be winter - but if I had all the food and water and firewood, I could manage, no problem. Would be fun!

                      I would certainly look at it as some sort of fun adventure. I think one month would go by pretty fast for me.

                          Heck, I would do it even without that $100K if I could just get away from my existing responsibilities for that one month. Would be a bonus if a functional piano is thrown in.

                          Not that I "need" TV and recorded music, but I did some calculations anyway:

                          • Standard definition TV, assuming a generous 2 Mbps bit rate, you need only 218 GB to store enough video to watch 8 hours a day for 31 days without repeating any scene. A 256 GB iPhone/iPad can handle that just fine. Double up to a 512 GB iPhone/iPad and you can watch "TV" for 16 hours day for 31 days without repeating any scene.
                          • Pretty good quality AAC audio at 160 kbps, you need only 16 GB to store enough music to watch 8 hours a day for 31 days without repeating anything.
                          • Books ... assuming 600 words per second reading speed (because you don't necessarily read every word and you skip over some boring/repetitive passages every now and then) and considering the typical English novel averages less than 6 letters per word, throw in spaces and punctuation, call it 8 bytes per word on average. You need only 9 Mbytes to store enough words to read for 8 hours a day for 31 days. Let's say you throw in some pictures and graphics embedded in whatever books you're reading, and we multiply by 1000 to account for these pictures and graphics, it's still only 9 GB.
