Each number, each step, is its own game. In each case, constraint is at an absolute minimum (the ruleset for each is a short, vague sentence), which leaves interpretation -- play -- quite open. Some are easier than others. Finishing an incomplete work is actually a pretty fantastic idea for a public challenge (and a project that I already have on a long list of projects), but how does one live multiple lives? Don't we do that already in the internet age? What if you swapped internet identities with someone for a week? You answer their email, post on their Facebook, comment on forums, shout into their twitterverse -- and they do the same? Aren't you living that person's life, albeit a fragment of it?
