I saw this question posed on tiktok, but I think Tumblr would really enjoy it too.
If a fae creature offered to give one million dollars for a bone chosen at random, how many bones would you allow them to take?
Light clarifications; The fae is not the one choosing the bones. The bone is taken at random. Each bone, no matter the size or importance, is worth a full million dollars. You must also declare the exact number first, you can’t go bone-by-bone. You either say 2 or you say 10, you can’t work your way up to a higher number. The bones are removed instantaneously, and the money is given immediately as well. You will not get in government trouble for acquiring the money.
that’s a combined total of 55 bones that, if removed, would kill you dead or at the very least result in severe brain damage, nerve damage, or paralysis at best. that’s a 26.6% chance of death or terrible injury – 1 in 4. those are horrid odds, worse than Russian roulette. and that’s not even tallying all the other bones whose removal would instantly send you to the hospital with extremely painful injuries, costing you a good chunk of your million dollars to fix.
it’s not worth it!

first try, which is why I said “none.” I know what kind of luck I have.
