The following question was presented:
Congratulations to Max Verstappen on his second world championship. I have to laugh as it was another decision that gave him the title (the 5 second penalty to LeClerc), but I have to say that this one isn’t controversial and Max would get the title next week if not this week. Which brings me back to the teaser from last week about chess and the cheating that has been going on. How much money would you need to win in order to use vibrating anal beads to receive cheat messages?

Analysis:
Let’s start with some details. There is an accusation by Carlson that Niemann cheated against him in their recent match. Neumann has, apparently, been caught cheating before in online matches. There is a theory that he used vibrating anal beads to get messages from his coach who was using a computer to advise on the best moves. Now, there seems to be a lot of interest as this has generated the most vote answers in a while. The majority of people saying they have morals and would not take this action for any amount of money. Interestingly, the next most popular answer was that they would do it for please. I guess you’d be wanting to receive a really long message if that we’re the case. I think I put that I’d do it for $10m. I guess there’s a whole lot of other factors that would need to come into play like the likelihood of getting caught.
