I think I'd like the to sense sound and sight together...

I had only heard of the condition through watching a documentary about a genius who despite having autism, and therefore having had difficulty learning social skills, could work out extremely complicated maths problems accurately which was aided by his synaesthesia which helped him visualise the numbers as shapes and colours...

He also managed to learn basic conversational Icelandic (which is known to be a very difficult language for foreigners to learn as adults) within a short space of time after having a Icelandic teacher teach him in Iceland.

At the time I had thought, "How cool would that be?"

Thanks for informing me that it is not all senses that are merged with people who have synaesthesia.

I first heard of it when I watched a thing on Superhumans by Stan Lee and was interested. then I found a documentary on just people with synaesthesia. that is when I found out that it was ranged.

That decision is usually left up to the thread owners. I see no problem with chatting in the thread. I think people are more inclined to regularly play if it's a friendly environment. But if you'd prefer us not chat, I will defer to your decision.

Totally. Pose a problem that occurs to Alice, ask for responses. V-Day themes, I think I'll work the historic angle of. But we could work in alternative celebrations, etc. I'm thinking for the event, since it's a short one, rather than switch out questions, we could do a list of questions each, and people can answer all, none, or some...and then just give out prizes for each question after the end of the event.

so true it would be really bad if we were to give out our secrets before we got to the event. how long is the event going to be lasting?

OH looks like I may have enough answer to changed out my Question and give out a prize.

That might work.
I'm thinking if we do at least five questions each, that should keep people busy. But we can totally do more.

Haha, yeah, good luck. There were some great answers to yours! I'm gonna give mine a few more days, since it was a difficult question.
Let me know when you announce the winner and I'll change the thread title.

Shattered Heart
I like that you also thought of the problems you could cause with this power.

Ravensdance
your answer reminded me of Neverwhere, a busker was taught a song that would bring change to him, then later he had to be taught the counter charm because he could not stop them from throwing the change at him.

Xogizmoox
Yours sounds like a plot to some sci-fi horror movie. I can just see every one living for a long time or forever and then we would have population growth problem. it would be one big paradox... fun but dangerous. and it some times is called Time Jump.

Ling
I can see how synaesthesia would be so cool to have for a creative person, and I dont think a single on of them is not creative in one way or another. although it does have its draw backs too. to be able to tasted what you hear can be rather disgusting, or smell what you hear. just think of all the different sounds you hear that would just smell or tasted wrong.


WherededIGo
I really would like to have Wifi wherever I went too but have to go with the best one here.

So my winner is....

Shattered Heart: not because I liked it but because you thought of how you could use it and did not just go for fixing every one. there are times that a superpower needs to be used properly and some times even if your wanting to do it for what seems like a good reason the consequences can be really bad.
