Hypothetical: Would you brave The Leopard Labyrinth?

[Spring-Loaded]

Imagine a small islet consisting entirely of a massive maze, several sq. km/mi. Inside the maze are an assortment of dozens of wild cats (leopard, jaguar, cheetah, cougar), all hungry and mostly interested in those attempting the challenge.

you're dropped on one end and must make it to the exit on the other side where a helicopter + pilot are waiting. Your reward is 1 billion human currency, tax free.

do you have what it takes to survive The Labyrinth?

 

[Vulcano's Assistant]

Leopard, cheetah, and cougar I may take the challenge. Much more reluctant if there's jaguars tho.

 

[Taka]

Those species don't play nice with each other.

I let the cats fight it out, and if any of them are still hungry afterwards, I'll take my chances with the wounded remnants.

 

[Xterrian]

Hell yes. All I need to do is scale one wall then stride my way to being a bllionaire.

Edit: I was imagine a wall maze. Assuming the 'walls' aren't climbable I'll just make a spear and light it on fire. Let's see them pussies come near a flaming sharp stick that gives off poisonous fumes.

Dozens?

No, thank you.

 

[DragonSJG]

I'd try to befriend them

 

[Heroicpiglet]

Can I bring weapons?

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Hell yes. All I need to do is scale one wall then stride my way to being a billionaire.

Upon reaching the end using this cheater method, you hop inside the helicopter and pat the pilot on the shoulder, indicating you're ready to go.

The pilot slowly reaches up and removes their helmet before turning to face you.They are a leopard

 

[subpar spatula]

Yeah. Why not? They'll probably hunt each other. And I am sure I could take them 1 on 1 with stuff I carry on me.

The cats are already hungry and have a fast metabolism. I wait for them to starve then waltz through the maze.

 

[subpar spatula]

Also they might just get super lost if you run. Even just following "hug the left wall" route might lead to enough turns that the cats cannot follow you anymore

Probably the easiest billion dollars ever. Unless every corner has a cat.

Hypothetical: Would you brave The Mandrill Maze?

 

[Luminaire]

i speak cat so i'm sure i can strike a deal with them
we split the money and start up a law firm together, maybe even a record label

 

[subpar spatula]

I did a google search and Leopards the most aggressive because they grew up with other big cats like Lions, but they all seem to avoid confrontation when it becomes a danger to their well-being. So you could essentially be extremely aggro / loud and they'd cower and flee.

Just give me the billion dollars.

 

[Wrapped in Black]

Bro we're a website full of progressive fucking anti-capitalists; all these hypothetical scenarios wherein the prize is a bajillion zillion dollars are really fucking weird.

Like, this is literally "Your reward is: be Trump."

 

[samoyed]

I want to pet them.

It's like that episode of The Twilight Zone where the guy has a genie and he wishes to be leader of a foreign country, in the 20th century, and can never be voted out of power, so the genie turns him into Hitler.

The disembodied, booming voice telling you your reward pauses, reconsiders, and says that instead of winning £/$/¥1 billion, your reward for reaching the end is to have Trump instantly teleported into The Labyrinth.

You would have access to live feed of his escape attempt, and would receive recording in all modern formats

Several square kilometers you say? That's a challenge even without the cats.

For reference, the biggest maze in the world is 0.07 square kilometers.
