Building a Swamp out of Staples This is a hard task. Swamps are often defined by the presence of things that aren't staples, such as animals, plants, or water. However, staples can be used to accomplish almost anything! To do so, one enumerates the ways they might be used, with an eye towards the goals in question.
Adding 0 to Itself Until You Get 1 Believe it or not, a reliable way to reach the number 1 is to accumulate a sum from 0 with 0 an infinite number of times. Each accumulation, there is a tiny chance an error will be made, and an even tinier chance this error wil result in a 1. Over an infinite number of repetitions, that chance becomes 100%.
Building a Wormhole By Sneezing The feasibility of this can be derived comparable to the summation of 0 to reach 1.
Growing Younger as Time Passes There are a number of ways of pulling off this oft-pursued feat. One of the simplest is to join a culture and language where people who have lived longer are considered younger than those who have not lived as long. "Oh, I remember when I was as old as you. It can be hard to be elderly, but you do grow out of it." "You'll understand when you're younger."
Making Mistakes That Cause Physically Impossible Things Like Moving Big Objects Through Small Passageways Unharmed Or Getting Farther From Things By Moving Closer To Them Or Falling Upwards Or Picking Up A Beam Of Light While Standing On A Cloud Basically this happens if you have change what reality is. This may take some work, but our physicists are studying it with fervor.
How To Pick Up A Beam Of Light With Your Bare Hands Light is made of photons, which are easiest to lift if you are made of mirrors. However, a beam of light is much more gratifying to lift if it is traveling through a liftable substrate, such as a tube of water vapor, or a flourescent bulb, and emitted by a light source also within the liftable substrate. How To Stand On A Cloud This is probably best done by placing an air vessel over the cloud such that your feet are near the top. But it may also be possible to make a very large lightweight mesh that would be held up by clinging to billions of water particles. Maybe such a huge mesh could also generate electricity from ions in the atmosphere and send it to the ground. I only have a high school education in physics so I don't really know what I'm talking about.
Building a 10 ton weight that is as light as a feather. You could make two, and shape one into a feather. You could attach hot air balloons to it. You could give it jets to make it levitate.
Making a huge concave object that does not displace water when its volume is measured. It has a pump and it sucks up the water to counter the attempts to measure its volume. It is also camouflaged to make it hard to measure its volume visually. It has an array of particle emitters and it can dodge, so that if one attempts to measure its volume by bouncing things off it, it can also try to foil this attempt.
Fighting A Computer Program That Prints "Hello World" While It Runs It is good to admit defeat when encountering a "hello world" computer program, because if you begin mutating process memory to alter its output, the things it would have to do to defend against that could become concerning.
Making A Virtual Environment To Lose Fights With Your Computer In So That It Stops Hacking Process Memory To Defend Itself This is hard to do.
Maybe a simple game? You and the computer have a blinking cursor each. One of you is tasked with writing "Hello World" and the other with erasing it. When a character is placed, the cursor jumps away and must travel back. The key is to keep the computer stupid or slow so you can win, there, I suppose.
--- Imagining something you won't ever imagine. This is easy you imagine it by referring to its description. Walking Around On Your Ceiling .... This could involve magnetic boots and a steel ceiling. Easily and Cheaply Walk on the second floor.
