Latest Lodden Thinks

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante

Antonio Esfandiari has stepped up his Lodden thinks game. In his latest question, Esfandiari asked how long Barry Greenstein could last in a small, square room with just a toilet, bed, and light. The light can be turned on or off at any time but, there is no mental stimulation available inside the room.

Greenstein is being a great sport through all of this.
