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.

Oranges seem a good alternative. Oranges and Tomatoes used to be extremely abundant in the U.S. not sure I want to check their prices now

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.

Yeah, I could probably do it.

300 million what, though?

Ok, then yeah, I’d like to try. Do you need my credit card, or do you take Venmo?

It's lice. You get 300 million lice.

Now, can you build the potato clocked, huh?

Damn. One day it’ll be something good. Ok, just add it to the lice pile over there.

Potatoes for the potato clocks you build after the three days

Wow, that’s like way more than $10 worth of potatoes.

What’s the money even worth without my tater time? :(

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 😬

Yeah no, I'm not passing up on my integrity just to get 300 mio. Unbelievable
