I won't speak for any of the five people who voted to hold the question, but...

My primary problem with this is that, by your own admission, it's a purely hypothetical question. You aren't actually trying to solve a real problem. This means that, while it may be possible to "answer" the question, it's entirely impossible for a "correct" answer to be given.

This is the reason that we only allow [practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face][1].
