If you had to wait in line for 1 hour, and you get a cash prize in the end. You can't do anything while you wait. How much would the prize have to be, at minimum, for you to do it?

Oww that would be a painful exercise but I'd get through it. I'd start to be tempted at $100 but by $250 I'd be in line.

Honestly I don't mind just standing alone with my thoughts. I could spend an hour thinking about how to spend £500 to do it :)

I'm a pretty patient guy but if i could get a million dollars or something like that i would be happy :P

define don't do anything, like would it be sensory deprivation chamber levels of bad or...

I was once standing in line for three hours to buy food (didn't realize the line was going so slow until sunken cost fallacy kicked in) so apparently 5€ or something are enough

Maybe 100€? I could probably lower my standards while I wait by calculating how much I am paid by the hour at work and compare this hour of wait to an hour at work.

depends on the mood, sometimes i just spent my time thinking about things. lets say 30€?

maybe enough so i don't have to go to work for the rest of my live. and a bit more to donate to people in need
