What contributes to how I feel when I arrive isn't the factor of my wetness, but how long I spent being rained on.

- yan 17y agoIt can beg all it wants, I'm still gonna run :) I stop thinking about being in the rain as soon as I'm sheltered, so I'd rather minimize being in an unpleasant situation.
- aik 17y agoInteresting rule, however I disagree with the extent of the assumptions taken from the experiment in the wiki, because: Blasting the second group with a less painful noise AFTER a more painful noise will result in a sense of relief when the less painful noise occurs. I believe this relief has a big impact on what people remember. Also, I believe the second group would insist on increased unpleasantness if the less painful noise preceded the more painful noise. Nonetheless, I believe there is some truth to the rule.
- amalcon 17y agoI, like you, try to optimize a different thing than the article: I want the time at which my wetness level is normal to be as soon as possible. As such, it makes sense for me to run to shelter if only because I will get to start drying off sooner. Oddly enough, all three optimizations lead to the same conclusion: that the best thing to do in any case is to run until you escape the rain.
