£10 million, cash in hand, right now. But there’s a catch;
- A snail is chasing you, and will be for the rest of your life. If it touches you, you die instantly.
- The snail cannot be killed.
- It knows your location at all times.
- It’s only purpose is to find you.
Are you taking the money?
Update;
PEOPLE THE SNAIL WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU
YOU MAY TEMPORARILY HALTER IT, BUT IT WILL FIND YOU.
IT CANNOT BE KILLED. ITS ONLY GOAL IN LIFE IS TO FIND AND TOUCH YOU. IT CANNOT BE BRIBED OR STOPPED. |

"If the snail can be haltered, I’m also going to make snail sized halters and reins and wee saddles to sell. Alongside my business model from the first thread."

"Does it move at the speed of a normal snail?
Normal snail speed "
Well in that case just move around a lot. Average snail takes 30 hours to do a mile. 100 miles is 4 months for him to catch up. |

OK here's a few things that could be done.
Put the snail in orbit around the earth with a random changing tragedies. Expensive but you're rich. Pretty much impossible to find the snail doing this.
Sink the snail to the bottom of the deepest part of the ocean (mariana trench). Not many people have been down there that I'm aware of. (Think more people have been to the moon.)
Have the snail constantly in transit. Like a high security vault on wheels kind of scenario. Unmarked but with guards and escort cars and so on. If it's constantly on the move it's pretty difficult to know where it's going to be. (Least favourite of my ideas due to people being corruptible) |

I’d lead it through one of those airport escalators but up the wrong way.
The snail wouldn’t be intelligent enough to know to turn around once it’s on, it’d forever be stuck on the escalator |

"I love how much thought people are putting into outwitting a snail."
It’s a shame, because it’s a smart snail, and will outwit everyone.
It will always be chasing you, if you accept the money. Delaying it is just that; a delay |

I covered it in my previous thread, but salt won’t harm the snail. It will just give it cold like symptoms for a few days |

"Is it after the person or the money? Because you could give/plant the money on someone else.
And is it a one time killer? "
When you take the money the snail will be there. He will touch you once, to mark you as his own, and then you get a head start before he sets off  |

Fine, I'll use the money to get a house on an island as far away from any other land as I can find. Or, stay on a luxury liner forever. |

One thing I've noticed is people seem intent on trying to kill snail even though it can't be harmed and is relentlessly moving toward target.
Shows people aren't very good at details.
Clearly no ordinary snail from nature so I guess you should have said that OP to give it more plainly. Maybe called it an invincible snail or something in the title... |

I'd ask for the money to be given to me in Sydney Australia, that would take him 36 and a half years to travel at snail speed. A months holibobs in Oz every year would add 6 years to that, making me 94 years old.... I think by then I'd be broke and ready for him to kill me lol! |

"Can you not place a plant pot(without hole in bottom) over the snail....

Interested how...
Can it tunnel itself out..
Does it gnaw through the plastic
Does it gnaw through clay...
That is depending which type of plant pot |

I'll have the £10 million, find the snail, encircle it with a ton of salt then fly off to Thailand. Not before getting someone to stick a GPS location device to its shell. That should buy me some time. |

Surround it with a large copper ring , snails and slugs can't cross copper . It makes them all giddy
I would also feed it regularly call it Daren and pet it wearing rubber gloves .
I think we would become great pals and have many adventures .

You’re still touching it, even if you’re wearing rubber gloves. Therefore you’d die instantly
And it’ll find a way out of the copper ring |

But you re assuming that the snail has to follow your every step rather than just track you down.
So you go to Oz for a month. He sets off to find you. A month in you come home. All he needs to do then is turn around, so in fact he'd only be a month behind you, not 6 years |

No.
I accept the money and initial contact with Brian (the snail) in Oz.
I fly home.
11 months later, I go to Oz for a month, so he's travelled 11 months towards the Uk, and when I'm in Oz on hols he travels a month back towards Oz, in effect meaning he's only 10 months away from Oz when I fly home, meaning he has to travel that month again Uk-wards before making any progress. |

The other possibility people seem to forget is that it could get on a mode of transportation to wherever you were. It might be slow but nothing stopping it jumping on a boat/plane/car etc. That's stationary. If that car say goes past the house you're in sleeping at night you're fucked, across the drive up the stairs and in your bed  |

I genuinely don’t see the problem.
You accept £10 million. You can live your life to the fullest, achieve what you want to achieve, set up your loved ones and children etc.
Then - as the snail can be slowed / halted - you can have full control and influence over when its time for you to move on to greener pastures.
Once you’ve ticked off everything on your bucket list, go touch the snail yourself and let it be done.
Conversely, right now you live life every day. Some of us are struggling to make ends meet. Living in uncertainty of whether Brexit, or whatever the next socio-economic crisis may be, will cripple us financially.
You could be hit by a bus tomorrow, suffer I’ll health, and go way before your time. And all you’ll have been doing (potentially) is struggling along.
It’s like two gifts in one. A relatively worry free life and the power of choice (as in when it’s your time to go) - Id snap your hands off and get my running shoes on. |

What kind of snail? They move at different speeds
But essentially yes. Based on the natural state of how snails work (unstoppable not included) there is no way that a snail would ever be able to get close enough to touch you. |

Much cheaper to get a bird to eat it & then keep said bird in a cage. Snail can't die so it'll stay alive but stuck in the bird & therefore can't touch you.
Or you could just get it in a container of beer & sling it in the freezer

Just hire someone to stalk the snail so they could warn you when it gets close, then they could keep taking it to the other side of the world or you could keep moving on, just maintaining distance between you until you're ready to go gentle into that good night or the snail dies (what's the life expectancy of a snail anyway? Few years?).
Problem solved. |

"What is the snail's motivation?
And how will it kill me?
"
No self respecting snail would get out of bed if it wasn't for the £10mil.
The snail kills by touching. |

I cannot see the problem
The premise tells us we cannot EVER stay in one place for more than 4months
Thus owning property around the world and moving every 3 adheres to the rules
Obviously one day one will not want to move and seriously that day the snail could have me
The snail knows where I am I know where the snail is and I get to travel the world
What am I losing exactly? |

So when you get tired of life to or terminal cancer just let him catch you and it's good night Vienna.
Althoughout life you can have people telling you where the snake is.
"Hey Phil, how's it going"?
"Good thanks, we're (me and the snail) in Manchester walking down the high street. You"?
"Oh, I'm on my yacht in the Caribbean. I'll send someone to watch the snail tomorrow and you can join me if you want"?
"Yeah, that'll be great. I'm sick of watching this snail". |

Stay in one place till Brian shows up then move
Knowing Brian is travelling towards me at 1m per hr will mean I always know where he is

Of course the location method I'd use is sailing round the UK for a year
After a year I know Brian is on mainland UK
I travel 4 months away and will always know what trajectory he is on and how far away
After 3 months I move to home 2 on the same line |

Tbh I'd be more concerned about the humans who might be after me to get the money. If they were to join forces with the snail to track me then the snail would catch up with me sooner with the humans carrying it and using it as a direction finder.
Still I'd take the money and put it in trust for the family keeping a little back to pay for a tombstone inscribed with the legend "died from the touch of a vengeant snail" |

"I'll have the £10 million, find the snail, encircle it with a ton of salt then fly off to Thailand. Not before getting someone to stick a GPS location device to its shell. That should buy me some time."
This thread reminding me of a book I spent one summer reading as a kid called ‘Pilgrim Snail’ by Ben Nimmo where he puts wee dots that he can track them.

I'm willing to take that chance.
Is there a small fee required for setting up the account to pay the money into by any chance? |

I still stand by my post from the 1st thread for being the solution I'd use.
But you have not said why nobody would find it?
OK here's a few things that could be done.
Put the snail in orbit around the earth with a random changing tragedies. Expensive but you're rich. Pretty much impossible to find the snail doing this.
Sink the snail to the bottom of the deepest part of the ocean (mariana trench). Not many people have been down there that I'm aware of. (Think more people have been to the moon.)
Have the snail constantly in transit. Like a high security vault on wheels kind of scenario. Unmarked but with guards and escort cars and so on. If it's constantly on the move it's pretty difficult to know where it's going to be. (Least favourite of my ideas due to people being corruptible)"
Or... just stick a glass over it. |

We all die at some point. Snail eating humans or not.
You may even due before the pesky snail gets its two tentacles on you. Their sense of direction is governed by then, cut them off and they loose all sense of direction. It may still find you. |

I’ll buy him a lovely tank with full of entertainment and food in it but secure to not let him get out. I’ll take him with me wherever I go so he will think he can kill me anytime he wishes.
Then I will find him a sexy wife to enjoy when bored on its own. After, here comes babies. He will be too tired to do anything else after that.
I will open the sink when I’m old and become useless for life. He will raise and kill me.
Happy Ending |

My baba watches a baby TV program about a cartoon snail who interviews other animals
And he goes all over the world to do so
And me and C keep wondering how he gets from place to place
Just like the snail in my OP. Except I don’t think the cartoon snail kills you. Maybe it does |
