For Men Only: You get $1Mil but an indestructible snail spawns within 1mile of you. It always knows where you are, and always moves toward you. If it touches you, you die. Do you take the money?

Million dollars and I get to die when the snail knows where I am hell yeah

At max speed the snail will take at least 33 hours to reach me. I can get a jar, a box, and a shipping label in that time. I can catch it and ship it to china, never to see it again. Or if I don’t want ti risk it, use the money to retire safely in Europe.

Presuming the snail is move through the ocean through some magic property we give it, you would have to worry about it reaching you in a few thousand days if you moved to Europe.

The prompt said indescribable, not that it couldn’t be stopped. If the snail tried to cross an ocean it would reach where the water pressure exceeds its ability to move and it would get stuck.

I took always moves towards you to be an absolute rule that would even cover like space travel

You could put it on like a turntable and it would always be pointing toward you but not getting closer

What happens if it’s on the moon and just so happens to be directly over me. Would it jump?

… there are too many things wrong with the physics of that question.

The snail would need to reach escape velocity but it can’t. So it would just reach up briefly and then start crawling in the opposite direction as the earth continues to rotate (a futile attempt at catching me). Then (~12 hours later) the snail would about face and start heading back to the same spot as the earth’s rotation starts to bring me back around.
