On 7th July 2025, sometime between 00:00 and 23:59 UTC, the Grand Poobah of the Sacred Dunkers will attempt a ceremonial triple dunk of a standard Rich Tea biscuit into a mug of piping hot tea.
The biscuit will be:
A genuine, non-reinforced Rich Tea (no tampering, glues, waxes, or preservatives of dubious origin).
Dipped three separate times into the tea by the same hand.
Dipped into actual tea, not gravy, broth, or experimental liquids.
Dunked with gravitas, not shaken, stirred, or tapped.
A dunk counts as:
The biscuit being held by hand and dipped halfway (or deeper) into the tea.
Each dunk lasting at least one full second.
A pause of no more than 10 seconds between dunks.
“Falling in” means:
The structural collapse of the biscuit into the mug — whether via snapping, disintegration, or slippage.
Even if a fragment survives, if the majority of the biscuit ends up in the brew, it counts as a Yes.
Resolution Criteria
Resolves to YES if the Rich Tea biscuit falls into the tea during or immediately after the third dunk.
Resolves to NO if:
The biscuit survives all three dunks structurally intact and is retrieved.
The ritual fails to take place by 23:59 UTC on 7 July 2025.
The Poobah uses a substitute biscuit or breaks the dunking protocol in spirit or letter.
