      I am a potato, does this mean if I check the time during the competition that I am disqualified even if I did not physically construct a potato clock?

    I never understood why in the US (North America? Europe?) children do this experiment with potatoes. Use a citric fruit instead, much better at moving ions around.

      I think its because potatoes rot a lot slower giving the kid time to enjoy the clock.

      Probably because potatoes are less messy than citrus fruits. No teacher wants to deal with an even stickier classroom.

      It depends on whether the BIOS is unlocked.

      Yes, but first you must overcome the friction from the starches by adding butter.

    Depends: 300 million what?

    If it’s dollars? Sure!

    If it’s feral hogs, I guess I better learn how and get to building ASAP!

    Edit: Oh wait, re-read it! It seems I get the 300 million feral hogs in advance?

    Yeah, I DEFINITELY won’t be able to construct anything while some lunatic desperately attempts to cram hundreds of millions of deadly swine into my 3rd floor apartment 😬
