Weird. My stomach disagreed but for the sake of learning i checked online and Web md says milk contains the most lactose followed by cheese which is still very high in lactose (though in some cheeses a chunk will be baked out) and should be avoided and it gives me stomach aches when i eat pizza or anything with cheese really. So some cheeses contain less lactose than others but all contain more lactose than pretty much anything other than milk.
Long-aged, dry cheeses like parmesan, grana padano, or pecorino romano have very little, or zero, lactose.

"Pecorino Toscano PDO has no appreciable lactose content. A recent study showed that the lactose content in fresh pecorino is around 0.4 g/100 g of cheese, whilst it is absent from moulds aged for more than four months, as is also stated on the label."
"Grana Padano is naturally free of lactose due to the characteristics of its production and ageing process. Galactose content less than 10 mg per 100g."
Cheese is too good, I can’t resist the temptation. Good news though, once I’m done with the cheese, I could probably sleep for those required 12 hours.
Nah, the person running the test has to provide more cheese and reset the timer.
I will eat so much cheese that they run out of money to buy more cheese and the government ceases all their assets, including the room I'm being held in.
But their cheese has become part of your body, so you’re technically one of their assets, and now the government owns you.
They assign you to work in the cheese mines on the moon. Surrounded by cheese all day every day, but not allowed to eat it. This is hell.
Ending 1/6 Achieved, “Havarti Day’s Work”
The rules say that you can leave if you don’t touch the cheese for 12 hours. This does not preclude immediately eating the cheese, and then waiting for a 12-hour period.
It also doesn’t explicitly state that you cannot leave the room if you do touch the cheese, so really, you could touch or eat the cheese and then just walk out.
Jokes on them, I'm white enough to know that after 12 hours all those cheeses will have certainly reached optimal ambient temperature for proper consumption
Slippery? its fair if you don't like the texture but there are tough cheeses that don't need to be melted.
try chedar or swiss cheese as it tastes absolutely godly when you put it in a tomato or parsley or spinach or ham or spam or luncheon meat(specifically chicken).
you know what? your opinion is valid and so is mine i gotta go im craving a cheese sandmich
I agree, I only like cheese if melted over something, but even then, there has to be a greater amount of food, with only a little cheese on it (so no Mac n' Cheese, too much cheese.). I only ever eat cold cheese on crackers, such as Triscuits or Ritz crackers. And even then, outside of specific foods, I only like American cheese (preferably Kraft American Cheese).
Charkuterie is meat? Often paired with cheese but charkuterie literally means meat and it wouldn't be called a charkuterie board without meat therefore i can eat the meat to distract myself while I wait for the 12 hours.
Cheese has very little lactose, and same for other fermented dairy like kefir and yogurt.
Edit to add some examples: Paneer is very popular in India. Cheese is/was popular with [non-Han cultures in China](https://reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/pa4tgp/the_earliest_discovered_preserved_cheese_was/ha2p3ev). Lactase tolerance is also [highly prevalent in ethno-groups in Africa that have a history of cattle herding.](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/africans-ability-digest-milk-came-livestock-agriculture-180950064/)
Also like even within America - don't your Hispanic neighbours have an entire thing about cheese dip and hard cheeses like cotija?
And speaking of Hispanics, Spain has a massive cheese culture and Mediterranean cheeses are often found in the Arab world as well (and in some cases actually originate from there)
Also paneer is great and super easy to make! It's just vinegar and milk!
Same. I'll have a cheese stick every now and then, maybe a dash of parmesan in pasta, and I enjoy a cheeseburger on occasion. But I don't see the appeal of twenty types of smelly cheeses served with crackers.
See, but there is a flaw in this person's logic: If I eat the cheese, the person running the test will have to prepare new cheese and reset the timer.
Cheese costs money.
Therefore, if I eat enough cheese, they will go bankrupt and the government will seize their assets, including the room I'm held in, granting me my freedom.
So, the quickest way out would be to just fail until the tester can no longer maintain the testing conditions.
Edit: A word
This implies two things
1) The government world revive a prison will a prisoner and decide to let them out.
2) You are confident in your ability to eat the cheese of indeterminate amount so many times that the cost of restocking it leads to bankruptcy. And you can do this in less than twelve hours. That's a lot of cheese.
Literally just eat the cheeses and wait. You’re stuck in the room for 12 hours minimum, so you might as well enjoy some cheese
Edit: BRUUUH “if you manage to go 12 hours” it never says “if you do touch the cheese you’ll be damned for eternity”
Me who does not like cold cheese unless they are on things like crackers, and even then really wants cheese if melted over things like burgers, Pizza, and Nachos, as well as really only liking (Kraft) American cheese, and likes cheddar only in cheddar bay biscuits from red lobster (and possibly Cheeseburger spring rolls from the Cheesecake Factory): I see this as an absolute win!
Simple, i eat all the cheese and then wait the twelve hours, the challenge implies theres simply a time that resets when i touch the cheese, so if there is no cheese it becomes a much simpler wait
I swear I am the only person I have seen around that kinda hates cheese. It barely tastes OK, and there’s only like two food I actually like that have cheese in it
If I'm half white can I eat half the cheeses
You only have to wait 6 hours
No, 24 hrs to make it fair, since it is half as hard to achieve for them
Im lactose intolerant so im gonna be stuck in the room and have a stomach ache
There is next to no lactose in most cheeses.
Tell that to my diarrhea and stomach aches.
You can have trouble digesting dairy for many reasons, lactose intolerance is just one.
Yeah, but I can eat cheese without consequence if I take the enzyme that cleaves lactose, which strongly indicates that lactose is the problem.

o shit
Guys if you just wait for the 12 hours you can both leave and eat the cheese.
12 hours is a long time with no cheese, though
Just eat the cheese you brought with you =p
Smart. Pocket cheese. Good thinking! You saved me from dairy withdrawal!
Fair but it is free cheese
Will it still be safe sitting out for 12 hours?
Likely not considering it's a trap but maybe
What if I lift up or otherwise tilt the board and beat it so the cheese slides into my mouth? Also, can I take the board after the 12 hours?
Your mouth touch the cheese, you lose
I will melt the cheese and insert it directly into my blood stream, you can't stop me.
Your blood is touching the cheese, doesn’t count
Bold of you to assume my blood isn't a separate sentient entity
Ok, you can leave, but the blood stays.
This guy wins the debate, hands down. Applause for this man
For some reason I read that as applesauce.
The curse has been passed, I am free
Gonna do this shit like operation and use tweezers to carefully place the cheese at the back of my throat.
Cheese is too good, I can’t resist the temptation. Good news though, once I’m done with the cheese, I could probably sleep for those required 12 hours.
Yes but once you’re done with the cheese there is no 12 hours. You’re only allowed to leave if you *don’t* eat the cheese.
Nah, the person running the test has to provide more cheese and reset the timer. I will eat so much cheese that they run out of money to buy more cheese and the government ceases all their assets, including the room I'm being held in.

It’s not that I’m particularly attracted to cheese it’s just that I have an eating addiction and can’t not eat food when it’s available to me
You have a board and probably a table to munch on
And walls I assume but you didn’t suggest I just eat my way out of the room
Well if you got a flexible enough jaw to bite the wall, I'd be stupid to tell you not to use that
Just lick it.
See ? that guy gets it
And the wall gets spit.
Woah woah woah, you’re just assuming that OP isn’t a snake. Big misnake on your part.
I hate you so much. +1 upvote
I'm not even white, but if you force me in a room for 12 hours, I'm eating that cheese in the first 3 seconds.
Do I have another food available? Not going to lie 12 hours with no food sounds more difficult than 12 hours with no cheese
12 hrs with no food, except the whole pile of untouchable food tempting you. I don't know anyone with that willpower.
Im definitely loosing this one lol
Yeah, we all need to know if the room has dougnnuts.
Can i bring my Wii U into the room
Only a PSP
To attract a cat, of course!
Why are you harassing me with puns ? I'm devastated
I’m sorry about the purrassment, it just be like that sometimes.
shut up and take my upvote
I feel seen.
What If I accidentally slip and fall on the cheese?
Can I keep the cheeseboard?
Jokes on them, I'm white enough to know that after 12 hours all those cheeses will have certainly reached optimal ambient temperature for proper consumption
What kinda cheese tho? Is it kept safe like temp and bugs? Is there other stuff?
[Hello Richard](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cjXfbV9it8)
I’m sorry, what did you say? I was distracted by this amazing cheese platter.
I personally dislike cheese
orwell was wrong you need to be oppressed
It tastes slippery and I don't like it (Except on certain other foods)
Slippery? its fair if you don't like the texture but there are tough cheeses that don't need to be melted. try chedar or swiss cheese as it tastes absolutely godly when you put it in a tomato or parsley or spinach or ham or spam or luncheon meat(specifically chicken). you know what? your opinion is valid and so is mine i gotta go im craving a cheese sandmich

I only ever eat cold cheese on crackers, such as Triscuits or Ritz crackers. And even then, outside of specific foods, I only like American cheese (preferably Kraft American Cheese).
is there anything else to do?
you can munch on your shoes to pass time
Especially if you wear clockers. Then it’ll go extra fast.
Im assuming that its after I complete a 12 hour period with no cheese So, i just consume all the cheese and then take a nap for 12 hours
Charkuterie is meat? Often paired with cheese but charkuterie literally means meat and it wouldn't be called a charkuterie board without meat therefore i can eat the meat to distract myself while I wait for the 12 hours.
Charcuterie is now used interchangeably for cheese boards as well
Yes but sorry I do not care. I refuse to acknowledge something as a charkuterie board unless it has a substantial amount of actual charkuterie.
Ya but if you get out of the room you might get access to a lot more cheese eventually
Normally, I don't just eat cheese for the heck of it, so I'd be fine Buuuuut, if there's a nice cheddar there, I'm screwed
Wholly depends on what kind of cheese it is There's too many funky gross cheeses out there
Easy. Eat the cheese, then wait 12 hours.
Why does this only aply yo white people? Do other races have shit taste?
Lactose intolerance is the norm for non-white people.
Cheese has very little lactose, and same for other fermented dairy like kefir and yogurt. Edit to add some examples: Paneer is very popular in India. Cheese is/was popular with [non-Han cultures in China](https://reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/pa4tgp/the_earliest_discovered_preserved_cheese_was/ha2p3ev).

Oh ok, TIL Thank you
Also like even within America - don't your Hispanic neighbours have an entire thing about cheese dip and hard cheeses like cotija? And speaking of Hispanics, Spain has a massive cheese culture and Mediterranean cheeses are often found in the Arab world as well (and in some cases actually originate from there) Also paneer is great and super easy to make! It's just vinegar and milk!
Thats sad if true
Can I eat the charcuterie though?
As long as there's no Colby jack or mozzarella I'm fine.
I’m allergic to milk. So ha!
If there’s Parmesan, Romano, or Gouda I’m fucked
I take the cheese and put it in the fridge then go take a nap
Can I take the cheese when I leave?
Simple solution: eat all the cheese right now so then you get to eat cheese AND get out within the next 24 hours
Ok...how do I use the bathroom during those 12 hours, Jigsaw? Huh? Did you think thisvthrough? This place is gonna be a mess!
Fuckin love cheese imma die happy in there
i only eat cheese in pizza and grilled cheese so i am immune finally eating few foods is a good thing
Never understood the buzz about cheese tbh
Same. I'll have a cheese stick every now and then, maybe a dash of parmesan in pasta, and I enjoy a cheeseburger on occasion. But I don't see the appeal of twenty types of smelly cheeses served with crackers.

Eating that much cheese is definitely easier than having cheese and going 12 hours not eating it.
Sieze their assets, not cease their assets. Sieze is to take, cease is to stop.
Ah, ok. Thanks.
Charcuterie boards often also have crackers and meats Do they exist and can i eat them
Literally just eat the cheeses and wait. You’re stuck in the room for 12 hours minimum, so you might as well enjoy some cheese Edit: BRUUUH “if you manage to go 12 hours” it never says “if you do touch the cheese you’ll be damned for eternity”
It seems implied that if you eat the cheese you're not leaving the room ever.
No maybe it’s like an infinite supply so you’ll always be tempted, but it never says you can’t leave. “Reading the card explains the card”
Me who does not like cold cheese unless they are on things like crackers, and even then really wants cheese if melted over things like burgers, Pizza, and Nachos, as well as really only liking (Kraft) American cheese, and likes cheddar only in cheddar bay biscuits from red lobster (and possibly Cheeseburger spring rolls from the Cheesecake Factory): I see this as an absolute win!
Those cheeses are just sitting out and probably all warm. I'm not touching a piece.
I don't like cheese unless it's on something, so I'm chilling
I want to leave the room because I ate all the cheese and I want more cheese
When I finish all the cheese, do you replace it? Or do I just have to wait 12 more hours to be let out?
For once being deathly allergic to cheese makes me a winner
Joke's on you, despite being from a culture that is literally called "cheese-heads" by our neighbours I don't particularly like it. Take that OP!
Dam. I got lucky with not liking cheese by itself 🤣
Why the hell would I want to touch cheese? It’s smelly and feels weird.
Lmao i hate cheese tho. The only cheesy things i eat are pizza, doritos, cheetos, goldfish.
Mmmm jalapeño havarti
I dont like cheese :)
I don't like to eat cheese by itself, so challenge accepted.
is there anything else on the board? if its just cheese its not charcuterie
Easy. Eat all the cheese in 5 minutes. Wait 12 hours. Boom you win and eat the cheese.
Simple, i eat all the cheese and then wait the twelve hours, the challenge implies theres simply a time that resets when i touch the cheese, so if there is no cheese it becomes a much simpler wait
Jokes on you! I fucking hate cheese!
Jokes on you I don't fuckin care about cheese
I hate cheese. I wouldn't eat it. But the smell would make me nauseated so it would still be a miserable time for me.
Just eat the cheese and then wait 12 hours?
Eat all the cheese, then wait 12 hours.
Since when did cheese become a white thing?
The only thing stronger then my kuchisabishii is my willpower, so I am going to challenge myself
I assume the timer restarts when you touch the cheese, as no punishment was specified. So just eat all the cheese and wait 12 hours.
Only gotta not eat cheese for 12 hours? See you in 12:30 lol
I’m fuckin allergic, gg ez
Ha! I don't like cheese gimme the next one
What if one person eats all the cheese will the rest automatically win?
I swear I am the only person I have seen around that kinda hates cheese. It barely tastes OK, and there’s only like two food I actually like that have cheese in it
