We are a group of 6 and we are up for a spicy food challenge. We are trying 3 spicy sauces (Tabasco: 3500 SHU, Da Bomb Beyond Insanity: 135,000 SHU and Naga Ghost Pepper: 1,000,000 SHU). Our hypothesis? We are testing whether we can perform well during pressure caused by chilli heat in a series of exercises such as mental maths, logic problems that are otherwise easy to solve. You will see people swearing, crying, hiccuping and calling it quits. But some of us we will carry through until the end. For science, damn it!
