Parallel universes are real! You shall be sent to live in one... forever.

You will get a choice between 5 universes that each have a similar collection of languages though technology & culture may be very, possibly hazardously, different.

To make your choice you may request one (1) kind of typical artifact. This will be fetched from each universe, you may compare to make your choice.

Electronics will be disabled. If the artifact doesn't exist... you get nothing.

What do you request?

Universe A: A silver tablet, when you look at the surface at different angles different patterns appear.
Universe B: A clockwork locket that contains a little bird that sings various tunes.
Universe C: Several wax cubes
Universe D: A flower that looks like an ocean wave at sunset
Universe E: Pills

@futurebird @mkarliner Does world E always send pills? Sounds like that world has spectacular medical tech, but is also rather boring, unless you're really into drugs.

So when does the contest end and we get to receive a description of the universes?

@mcv @futurebird @mkarliner The question is whether world E is always sending the same pills. Maybe there is large impending disaster that everyone has been issued euthanasia pills and nothing else matters.
