Life Come here to get assigned to relive one year of your life.

**Rain Man** · 02:03 PM

Hypothetical: you're in New Orleans and you go to that little square where all of the palm readers hang out. You find the most attractive palm reader in the group and pay her $20 so she'll hold your hand for a few minutes.

She deftly palms your $20, then has you hold out your hand. When you do, her dark Romany eyes go wide and she gasps. She begins calling out in Armenian or Creole, you're not sure which, and other palm readers converge on you. Everyone looks at your palms and begins muttering oaths and prayers.

She asks for another $20 to tell you something special, and you give it to her. She then explains that your life line has a loop, which means that you can go back and relive one year of your life, with a specific set of rules.

She asks for another $20 to explain the rules, and you comply. She then tells you that you...

1. can relive a year, beginning and ending on your birthday,
2. make any different decisions you want, and basically have free will.
3. maintain your current personality and knowledge when you go back.

However,

3. at the end of the year, any debts you accrued will be carried forth for payment in the present day.
4. you cannot gamble or invest money or otherwise financially benefit from your knowledge of the future.
5. at the end of the year, you'll come back to the present and there will be no changes or ramifications to your decisions except those noted in other rules.
6. you can't pick the year. It'll get randomly selected for you, with the most likely year being 18 but every year having a probability of being selected.

For another $20, she'll tell you the incantation to say, and you'll go back.

If you're interested, post in this thread with your current age, and I'll assign you a year to relive. Let us know what you might do differently, and whether it would be an enjoyable year to relive.

We could be twins if you shaved your goatee.

Your year to relive is the age of 31. What would you do differently, and would it be a fun year to relive or not?

The decisions part may have limited relevance in your case, but I'll ask it anyway.
