The mouse with three heads and a mechanical tail game: game 00031

This game is based completely in theory because I’ve yet to ever find a mouse that has three heads. I guess it would be more logical for a mouse to have a mechanical tail. Anyway, the premise of this game is more of an experiment than anything. Similar to the experiments where a mouse would be given two choices and shocked when it chose one of the two options and not shocked when it chose the other this experiment would shock the mouse when it tried eating using its middle head. What is even more fascinating is that the shocks would come from its own mechanical tail. Now the question is how long will it be before the middle head isn’t allowed to eat and at what point would this upset the center head? Also, what is more likely, the possibility of the other two heads gnawing off the middle head or the three heads working as one to rid themselves of the mechanical tail? A player is rewarded one point for finding a mouse with three heads and another point for attaching a mechanical tail. A third point and subsequent victory is awarded the player if they set up the experiment described above. There have been no winners or attempts to play this game as far as we know. game created by Mark Baumer

Here is an example of why three heads would never work:

more to the point

1. What kind of simpleton mice are you imagining who would be shocked when it chose one of two available options? Is a mouse brain even capable of enough cognition to register 'shock' or suprise? I wonder. Or are you suggesting that one head would make the decision but one or more of the OTHER heads would register suprise at the decision? If so, I could see that.

2. I don't think that video shows why 3 heads wouldn't work so much as it shows why the creator of the Steadicam is treated like the god-among -mortals-that-he-truly-is in Hollywood.
