   • If the blindfold falls off or I can get partial sight, I have failed the experiment.
   • I am only allowed to readjust my blindfold if I can see light.
2. I must not be in contact with any other people for 24 hours.
   • I cannot answer my phone or any other messaging system.
   • I cannot receive in-person visitors.
   • If someone knocks at the door, I cannot answer verbally or physically.
3. I will set an alarm for 24 hours. I cannot set any other alarms or use any other means to ascertain the time.
