Would you be willing to eat a bowl of crickets for $40,000?
It depends on whether I am in need of money. For the time being, I certainly won't.
Which sports do you follow on TV?
I follow chess, but on chess newspapers and magazines. TV does not seem to be interested in chess.

Who would you prefer to be the next US President?
I would prefer a Bernie Sanders Presidency.
However, on the day I received your question, Mr. Sanders had no chance to become the next POTUS. He was supported by a record-breaking number of individuals in his campaign, he proposed promising policies, he had a concrete plan, he has a clear vision, yet he was defeated by the famous Clinton. The story behind the triumph of Ms. Clinton over him is complicated, and perhaps those details have taken the presidency from the Democratic Party.
Of the remaining candidates (there is a ridiculously large number of them, please see here: http://www.politics1.com/p2016.htm), I think Hillary Clinton is the best choice.
In this election, there are several interesting candidates. One guy is from the "Nutrition Party" with the slogan "Make American Healthy Again," one is from the "Legal Marijuana Now Party." There are dozens of such candidates, and I believe the one who has won is one of them. And, that is what makes America true America.

What is your goal for the next 24 hours?
Get up early and make myself respectable (not in the idiomatic meaning).
What would you do if you couldn't use the internet or watch TV for a month?
I would read, and write.
What is the last dream that you remember?
My dream today.
It has left so strong an impression that I could not forget.
I was going to the premises, which was very different from mine, but I did not realize at that time. There was a festival there, and many of my friends, the ones from secondary school, high school and university. Some of them were acting weirdly, but anyway, it was a festival.
Then a group of friends from B0 - including Eagle, Sunlight and Panda - and I went to the top of a flight of stairs. We were still in the festival, and we were also on top of a castle. I saw Ran stepping upstairs, then she disappeared from my eyesight. Meanwhile, the B0 friends introduced a man to me, he was Dark Illusion. Yep, strangely enough, they know Dark Illusion. He was fatter than I imagined and unusually short. I remember I was thinking that it had been years since I last saw him at C3, so some changes should be understandable. Then Ran appeared from the top stair. We started talking and the friends just went somewhere. Ran was much taller than she is, and she looked like a different girl. She was so different that I believe few people could recognize it was her. We walked on a path on top of the castle, talking about something. We were walking toward the festival.
And then I woke up.

What is the secret of happy relationship?
Although not eligible, I will presume to answer this question, with the term "relationship" being limited to romantic ones.
I believe that true understanding and empathy are the key factors that underpin a long-lasting relationship. If one does not know the feelings and the thoughts of their partner, in all likelihood, misunderstanding, skepticism and even conflicts will occur. These things will eventually result in the destruction of the relationship.
So, my advice for people who is seeking happy relationships is that they should understand their partner. To do so, they have to be open and honest first. No one could naturally believe in or bring other some sweetnesses without a certain degree of understanding.
It is possible that after knowing each other well, the partners decide to end their relationship. However, it is not regrettable because sooner or later it will happen if they really do not belong to one another. So, to be happy with another you should take the risk of allowing them to see through your soul.

Do you like the perfect at all?
I used to be a perfectionist.
I chased the perfection all the time, but it was no different than trying to reach the horizon. And soon I realized that I could never do that, no matter how hard I tried.
Now I have already given up the hope that something in my life or I myself will be perfect some day in this life, but my love for "the perfection" will never change.
Even when I know that I won't reach it in the foreseeable future, I will always work toward it. The grounds for this are, firstly, I cannot lower my goal, it is about my personality; and secondly, I know that living this way will help me to become the best possible version of myself. And I truly believe that after several more lives of living this way, I could become the one I want to become.

Would you rather be a lonely genius, or a sociable idiot?
I choose to be the happier, no matter who they are.
