Tiny room with nothing but a bed and a toilet. No windows. No books, entertainment, or distractions of any kind. 3 square meals per day. How long do you last?

What do you mean, how long do I last? What are my options? Can I leave any time I want? Can I commit suicide? Can I refuse to eat and wait to die?
Three years. After three years, I'd have about $11 million. Then I'd be a rich dude starting new businesses and traveling the world. I can handle solitude fine.
You can leave at any time. Thought that was pretty obvious.
I don't think I'd make it more than a week
I would be able to stay in long enough to pay off my school loans. I would do about anything to pay those off. Probably a week for good measure. I would sit and practice my meditation.

No, it wasn't obvious. "How long do you last?" I thought that meant how long until you crack mentally, bang on the wall to try to get someone to let you out, try to kill yourself.
If it's just, "I think I'll leave now", then that's a lame one, brother.
What is the lighting situation? Any periods of darkness? I would know the number of days that are passing based on the meals, correct?
I'm thinking 6 months for $1.8 million.
But I wonder as each day passes, do you get more greedy for another $10,000 or more anxious just to get out.
You're either thinking either, I'll stay one more day for another $10,000 or I will give up $10,000 to leave a day earlier then I was planning.

You are not understanding the reward or incentive for staying as long as possible and the possible risks. And yes, it was obvious what he was asking, please reread the thread title. You are the only one that didn't get it.
I'd like to think I could get 2 weeks in, maybe more. As someone else mention, it might be a good time to practice meditation. And push-ups.
It would suck, but I could go at least a couple of weeks for 10k a day. 3 weeks equals 210k, which I would love to have right now.
I could stay in solitary without losing my mind indefinitely. I would choose to for 300 days on those terms.
I'd stay in there for the rest of my life, sounds much better than what I do now.
I'd donate the cash to donkey sanctuaries.

Wow, dumbarse, if you're having such a hard time understanding it, I suggest you STFU, GTFO, and visit another thread. Better yet, why don't you switch to a website that's more on your level, like hookedonphonics.com. You're dumbarsery is distracting from an interesting thread/question.
I think I'd last about a month, maybe 40 days. $300,000 -$400,000 would take care of all my foreseeable debts and would set me up nicely for the future. It's all about finding that balance where the money is no longer worth the time spent away from life. Props to the guy who would stay 3 years! For me, that's be around 30 or 40 days when I'd start REALLY missing life. I'd miss my family, friends too much. Plus, beyond that, I think there'd be some psychological consequences.
Also, push ups ALL day. Every day. That's what I'd work on to make the time pass.
I'd like to go a month and pay off my house, but not sure if I'd go loopy much quicker.
The entire premise is stupid. "Voluntary confinement" is an oxymoron. If you're choosing to be there, you're not confined.
Besides, NO ONE is going to pay you to stay in a room.
Now, if you were involuntarily locked in a room with no way out, how long would it take before you try to kill yourself? Now THAT'S a question to ponder.

Who's the example of "dumbarsery" now?
Do you have to pay taxes on this income?
Being a tax/investor neophyte, I'd need to meet with a financial advisor and figure out an IRA and plan my retirement.

Well, aren't YOU the dufus calling the OP stupid.
