You are sold into slavery and bought by Nigel Farage to be his wife. As a wedding gift, a wise wizard offers you one of three gifts. Which do you choose:
The Cauldron of Hymir (which will brew on command limitless quantities of the finest mead there has ever been;
A sophisticated virtual reality immersion tank in which you can remain in an immersive simulation indefinitely. The immersion tank will prolong your lifespan to about 300 years, although it is not guaranteed that you will be able to exit the tank. The simulation will be chosen for you by Richard Madeley, or (in the future) by a computer into which Richard Madeley’s personality has been uploaded and may change from time to time.
The Sword of Bees. This sword is a mighty magical weapon which allows you to defeat a powerful adversary in battle. However, when it strikes down your enemy, it will tear out your entrails and you will die in your moment of triumph.
What will you choose?
