You are buried in a coffin 6ft deep, with no light or cell phone. There is only a small tube connected to the coffin from outside that allows you to breathe (edit: you can breathe with no difficulty). After 48 hours, you are dug up and given 1 million dollars. Do you do it?

Edit: No food and water, no diaper, and no contact with the outside world. Once buried, they leave for 48hr and come back to dig you up. The coffin is only wide enough for you to lay on your back (no rolling around), and the inside is wood and not particularly comfortable. The only items you’re allowed to bring with you are life sustaining medication (e.g. an asthma inhaler). No knocking yourself out with pills or anxiety meds. The money is a briefcase full of cash.

    I didn’t see that one! I’ll have to check it out. Assume that the coffin used is sturdy enough to hold up to the dirt.

    So wait… Does that mean coffins all just cave in after burial?

      I think it was in the first season before the show got popular.

      I doubt all coffins get crushed, but the one they bought was definitely having problems. As I recall they bought a steel coffin because they thought it would be stronger than wood.
