[0:00]6 million dollar challenge. All you have to do is live underwater for 50 days. The site is about 45 miles off the Florida coast. No land in sight, no signal at all. Just open ocean around you. You stay inside a sealed glass pod, placed deep under the water. There's oxygen, fresh water and power, but no sunlight, no sense of day or night. Look outside and you'll see shadows moving past the window. At night, it gets worse. Waves hit the pod. You hear deep constant rumbling. You can watch movies, you can write, but you can't leave. You can't talk to anyone and there's one more thing. Your body adapts to the pressure. That means you can't just go back up. If you leave, you must go through a long decompression or your body could be seriously harmed. The first few days feel amazing, but by day 15, it gets boring fast. After day 25, your mind starts to change. The last person quit on day 31. He said the silence felt unbearable. The rule is simple, stay 50 days, win six million. So tell me, would you finish it or quit before the end?
