- jacquesm 16y agoIndia's defence ministry must be pretty desperate if they are looking at stuff like this. I hope they cheat enough that he'll survive. The key here is evaporation (sweating) and how much he weighed to the gram when he came in versus when they 'conclude' the experiment (why only 15 days, a year would clinch it for sure). Also they'll need 24/7 video recordings if this is to be believed by outsiders, just surveilance isn't going to be enough. Makes you wonder whether he stocked up before entering the 'test setup'.
