Objective answer=Neither. Subjective Answer = Spin Sports_Gambler Send a noteboard - 23/07/2010 03:15:43 AM
Spin or Drop?

Don't need any reasons, justifications, or arguments.
Simply put what do YOU believe happened to the totem?

Spin or Drop


The objective answer is NEITHER.

If you buy into the movie premise, you are already accepting that the dream-world of the movie is a valid kind of reality! In that case the only consistent answer is SPIN.

(I changed my answer after thinking about this for a while, this is a bit like the liar paradox, if you think the question is answerable you have already accepted the dream-world of the movie 'Inception'! So the only consistent answer is SPIN).
