The following question was posed to various of the Vs. System luminaries competing in the $10K Atlanta last round.

Of the following options, which would you choose?

• To be as fit as a mid-level NBA/NFL sports star, without having to do any appreciable work to get/stay that way. You wouldn’t get any additional dexterity or anything to actually play in the NFL, but you would be pretty ripped.
• To have an IQ of around 165–170. As a frame of reference, 150 is considered genius level, Einstein had an IQ of about 170, and Stephen Hawking (apparently) has an IQ of over 200.
• To be able to function comfortably on three hours sleep per night, waking up refreshed every morning.

To cut to the chase: Would you be Physical, Mental, or Energy?

Here are the responses.

The Physical

Karl Bown

Tillman Bragg

David Fielder

The Mental

Adam Prosak

Mark Slack

The Energetic

Alex Brown

Adam Fears

Mitch Fujita

A lot of thought went into these answers. Dean Sohnle, on loan from the Pro Circuit, spent a great while in deliberation, eventually deciding that he needed to be smarter in order to answer the question.

Alex Brown, who apparently sleeps 10 hours a night and is still tired, jumped on Energy all the way.

Tillman Bragg just wanted to be pumped.
