I probably should have known that rabbit wasn't the answer if I'd paid attention to the whole 5,000 years ago bit. Oh well.

9/10.

Fun fact: I'm the first person to play this today! 🥳

Don't discount the possibility of rabbit stowaways I say

Yeah! No guesses and I didn’t need to think about any of them at all. Managed a 9853 for my 8th-best score ever!

Oooo, and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen 100% on the number beaten. I’m sure it’ll drop once more people take it, but I’m pretty happy about it anyway! 😄

Can you imagine if Ebola was the most contagious disease as well as one of the deadliest?

Level 65

Sep 23, 2024

probably not, it would be a bigger threat to society than COVID ever was

I once had a cold, I didn't think I'd live to see tomorrow

I can, but don't want to.

In all the 14,000,600 futures I imagined where Ebola was the deadliest and most contagious, there was only 1 where humanity survived

But is this actually possible? Isn't it that if a disease is too deadly it may kill all the possible hosts before they even have the chance to transmit it to the next person and thus disappear?

I remember during covid there was a talk about some mutations making a virus more deadly while others were making it more contagious but less deadly. Of course, I maybe awfully wrong on all of this, since I don't have a serious knowledge base on this topic.

Yeah, exactly. The perfect virus is a mix of very contagious and somewhat deadly. COVID only had a death rate of 1-2%, but it was so insanely contagious that so many people got infected that the death toll was orders of magnitude bigger than Ebola. Delta and the other variants we were warned about didn't make the virus especially more deadly, but they did make it way more contagious.

9/10, some really tricky ones today! I could've sworn a haberdasher was a restaurant 😅 Took me a long time to get the measles one as well, could easily have guessed wrong there
