Obviously a hypothetical scenario. There is no way to pass on the knowledge to anyone else. Time freezes for you only, and once you have your answer you are out of this world.

The question can allow you to see into the past, present and future and gain comprehension of any topic/issue. But it's only one question.

Edit: the point isn't "how to cheat death". You can't. Your body is frozen and there is nothing you can do with this knowledge other than knowing it, and die. So if you would rather be frozen in a limbo just thinking of numbers for eternity, be my guest.

Such a variety of replies, it's been really interesting to read them!

What would you want to know? Personally I'd want to see a timelapse or milestone glimpses of humanity's future until the end of Earth's existence (if we survive that long)

the humdrum of taking a shit and sleeping for 8 hours would get old fast

Ageed I'm only halfway watching this poor sod's life, and it's soo boring. I'm not going to watch more of this.

Maybe we could add a remote control and a library interface? Like choose whom to follow and then you can use ffw and a stop function?

ah you mean just like Adam Sandler's timeless masterpiece, "The Magic Remote Control"?

I loved when Adam Sandler said "It's Sandlering time" and totally Sandlered all over those guys
