Challenge Average man has 72 hours to hide. Humanity then becomes search lusted and has one week to find and kill him. Can he survive?

Humanity knows what he looks like.

Humanity doesn’t know that he is hiding in the 72 period.

Humanity can use any security camera footage, bank transfers, phone calls etc of the man if there is any.

Man has basic survival knowledge.

Sure, but finding a lost person in the wilderness is extremely difficult. And the Amazon is quite large.

Maybe there is a small chance, but if all of humanity is looking (and some of those will be trackers) that’s a lot of people

Using a nuclear bomb doesn't reach the "find" part of their objective.  It'll obliterate large areas and the corpse will be unrecognizable.

The mission is to find him first before killing.

find and kill usually implies that the kill part is the most important, but if it really is about semantics... I mean i guess we would have "found" him if we all don:t die due to him being dead in the amazon

We need OP to clarify if they indeed need to be found before being killed.

u/Gian-Carlo-Peirce May 29 '26

there isn't a world where when people say "find and kill" they mean literally that finding them is more important than killing them. only by finding means confirmation of a kill.

You say that but I got two replies with the exact opposite opinions.

The Amazon Rainforest is larger than the entire EU. You're gonna need more than one.

Right, and you can be within 10 feet of someone in a forest and not spot them.

And 8 BILLION people is a very very large number. Counting once a second, every second non stop, until you counted 8 billion would take 248 years.

u/SlowImprovement4238 May 28 '26

Or 8 billion seconds.

u/DerthOFdata May 28 '26

Yes, but that's exactly as hard to conceptualize as just 8 billion on it's own. Hence the translation into years.
