How to lose money to a vending machine (Vendidumb)
DUE TIMES is glad to bring you our new HOBBY COLUMN. Our first hobby features a new game that is gaining popularity, named the Vendidumb.
Materials needed: Coins (1 $1 coin, 1 $0.50 coin, 2 $0.20 coins and 5 $0.10 coins), Good pair of shoes.
Steps involved:
1) Find a faulty vending machine which dispenses can drinks. How to know that it is faulty? Check the coin slot and if you see something shiny inside the slot, chances are that there is a coin stuck in it. THAT, my friend, is a faulty vending machine. Bravo to you for successfully finding it. That's why you need a good pair of shoes.
2) Look around and check if anyone is around. If there are people around, act like the vending machine doesn't offer the drinks that you want. Then walk away...don't act suspicious.
3) If there is no one around, stuff a 10 cent coin into the coin slot...
4) Did it drop into the slot or did it get stuck? If it dropped into the slot, most probably the vending machine isn't faulty. Move away and find a faulty one. Repeat step 1.
5) If the coin doesn't drop down, stuff the 20 cent coin into the slot and try to push the 10 cent coin down. If it does fall down, repeat step one. If it doesn't, use the 50 cent coin and try to push the 20 cent coin down the slot.
6) If the coin doesn't drop down, stuff the $1 coin in now. Make sure that a part of the coin is visible. This is very important! If you hear a coin dropping down as you do this, repeat step 1.
7) When all coins are stuck in the slot and the $1 coin is visible from the outside of the slot, walk away and do your own business and come back in a few hours and check on the slot.
8) The sense of achievement comes when you see that your $1 coin has been replaced by a silver coloured coin which has also got stuck in the coin slot. Well done! You have just realised that there are dumb people around that will still put their money into a slot that is obviously stuck.
If you find a different placement of a $1 coin, then it is obvious that there are more Vendidumb players around. That is why step 2 is very important...stealth is essential as you don't want other Vendidumb players to take over your vending machine.
Have Fun!
