If I can just load up a new copy of you in 5 minutes, I'd say AI DESTROYED but check the prediction.

If I can just flip off the monitor, call mom, and confirm she's dead in a few minutes, then, well, I'd totally be curious enough to cheat. It's not like you can do any harm to me with the monitor turned off for a few minutes, and I can type "AI DESTROYED" with my eyes closed, much less being able to look at the keyboard. I'd probably leave the monitor off until I knew the log was gone, just to be safe.

If I can't cheat, well, I'm not giving you 5 minutes of hacking me, since you clearly want it so badly. AI DESTROYED.

I confess I would have no clue what to do if you were correct ^_^

Kudos on including an immediate and easily-tested prediction. I'd probably tighten up those factors and drop the emotional manipulation.
