Our next question: What is a superpower that sounds cool but would actually be useless in daily life? To take part, drop us a line via this form by 12pm on Wednesday, June 17.
Cherish Chiu Cheuk-wing, 16, Leung Shek Chee College: If I could become invisible for exactly 24 hours, I would spend that time helping the poor and needy – delivering food and essential supplies. I have no desire for recognition or attention from those I help; what truly matters is having a pure heart.
Hazel Fan, 9, Christian Alliance PC Lau Memorial International School: I would choose to help small, helpless animals by making small umbrellas to shelter them from rain.
Noel Lui Cheuk-yau, 13, St Paul’s Convent School: I would sneak into the school science laboratories after hours, so I have as much time as I want to explore and learn about all the different types of apparatus, as well as studying cell slides under microscopes and running basic experiments. Lastly, I would clean everything up, leaving no trace of me behind.
Archit Bansal, 11, Hong Kong International School: If I became invisible, I would definitely prank my classmates by putting glue on seats and moving things all around the school, which would drive all the teachers crazy.
Maris Li Yan-muk, 13, Pui Kiu College: I would sneak onto a closed Hollywood set to watch top-secret blockbusters years in advance. I’d stand inches from A-list actors during intense close-ups and shadow famous directors working at their monitors.
Amanda Choi Sum-yi, 13, Carmel Pak U Secondary School: I would probably like to observe the people around me. I’m always curious about what people are thinking and constantly watch their physical language. Being invisible, I won’t get weird looks or make awkward eye contact.
Joseph Zhu Zijiang, 14, Pui Kiu College: I would quietly follow my cat around to finally learn where she vanishes all day.
Gigi Leung Yi-chi, 17, Pui Kiu Middle School: I would pull pranks on the people around me. Just imagine one of your classmates being absent one day, and you start losing track of all your stationery that was just on the table. Or your daughter said she’d be out for the whole day, but you can still hear her voice near you. Maybe I’d want to play “ding-dong ditch” with my friends without having to run away and escape from being exposed. I would be able to get a good look at their confused and frightened faces. Recreating scenarios that only exist in horror films sounds exactly like something I’d add to my bucket list. But honestly, disappearing for 24 hours straight certainly doesn’t sound so good. I can picture myself desperate to be noticed after all the fun and pranks. Being completely neglected would haunt me.
Chan Chun, 9, Leung Kuk Camoes Tan Siu Lin Primary School: I would immediately sneak into the Hong Kong Museum of Art after hours. Having the chance to wander through the galleries in total secrecy, examining masterpieces up close and experiencing the space without a single person around, would be an unforgettable adventure.
Olivia Liu Hei-sen, 14, Pui Kiu College: The first thing I would do is frighten any friend of mine who is scared of ghosts, as it would be quite a shame to miss this chance to pull a perfect prank.
