Stairs were "Staff only" zone in the place I visited today

predicted NO

@KongoLandwalker If you were really dedicated, you would simply break into the staircase and use it anyway.

predicted YES

@osmarks one of the principles of my challenges is I should not cause inconveniences

bought Ṁ10 of NO

As someone who recently failed my own self-improvement market challenge (fixing my sleep schedule within a week), I know how hard it can be. I hope you succeed, but I gotta be realistic, especially given your recent comment about the second floor of the mall, which I'd imagine would greatly increase the temptation of breaking an arbitrary, self-imposed challenge for immediate, pragmatic ends (there's something on the second floor you want).

predicted YES

@Dfe2f I am quite competitive. Instead of breaking a rule for an instant gratification I am more likely to go into another country by foot and buying the thing I want there.

The most probable way I lose the challenge: I forget about limitations.

The second: I recieve some urgent task which could not be predicted by me, because if I could predict, then I would likely get up earlier to start walking towards the destination.

I found out that the second floor of mall is unreachable. The building has irregular structure. I can go to the fifth floor using the outside evacuation stairs (always open) then go down couple floors using internal stairs, but those stairs connect only 5 to 3. Looks like I will not buy anything from the second floor this year.

@Joshua 😠

I'm motivating you with higher payout! But also I think there's decent odds anyone would have to go to the top of a very tall building by the end of the year.

@Joshua Yeah, this seems really hard. Or what if you have to get somewhere within 5 km very urgently?

predicted NO

@KongoLandwalker

Do you live in walkable city?

predicted YES

@Conflux running would be the solution.

@Joshua I think so. There are couple road segments of ~3 km length, closer to the edge of the city, which cannot be crossed at all. Almost highways with no underpass or bridge. But over the last year only once I had to get on the other side.

predicted NO

@KongoLandwalker

...Why did the Kongo cross the road?
