20 years or suicide?
Which option would you choose?

I would walk through door A and immediately request a clone of God.
I'd then command it to go out into the world and kill EVERYONE, only to return when I am the sole survivor.
That was easy.

Door A.
Especially if there was no sense of time. Like what they do in Casinos. No Clocks, Windows, etc. To keep reminding me that there was another XX years/months/days left... O_O
Anyway,
If all of that could keep me occupied through the 20 years without losing my sanity then that would be dandy.
If I do go insane then it wouldn't matter, "I" would be dead to the world and to my sense of self so I wouldn't care anyway.

A, for how I perceived the message.
...The HOT GIRL will not age nor will it be able to reply you she (does she moan?). It is essentially a REALLY FUN SEX MACHINE that will DO ANYTHING YOU ASK IT TO. You are allowed HAVE ENDLESS SEX WITH the clone even if it means torturing and killing it. You will also be able to request a NEW HOT GIRL every month but with a limit of only ONE HOT GIRL at any point of the time. If at any point of time you try to end your life, your benefits will be stripped for an unspecified amount of time. You will be released at the place of your using after the 20 years are over.
Walk through door B and you have a gun with one bullet. Walking through one room will lock the door behind you and you will not be able to change your decision.”
Why would anyone pick B? Even with the explanation below, I could kill myself once I realize the external world sucks and that I can't go to room A.
Since your death has been fabricated, even after 20 years( assuming your loved ones did not die ( if they died, oh the remourse ) ), your loved ones will forget about you. If they remember you, they will think you are a zombie. Which bring us to the next point.
Zombies. Whatever could happen in the 20 years, you don't know. Vampires, Zombies, Aliens, etc. killed everyone already and are out to get the last human life form on earth.
But maybe its not such a bad thing.
Technology may advance, letting you do lots of stuff.
Oh yeah. Studying. 20 years worth of not studying is a bit ...yea, right?
TL;DR: B.

I would choose B. End my life. Pronto. I'd rather shoot myself n the head for 10 seconds worth of pain than wait 20 years in paradise. Why, you ask?

I'd choose Room A, as of most what most people would do. Although not as enjoyable as your normal life, I would take it over suicide any day.

I chose Room A under the premise that the voice speaking to me is telling the truth, and that all that is promised to me would be delivered. That's another situation, you know. What if the voice is lying to you? What if you are indeed given enough food and water to continue living, but you are not able to request anything. You are fed a plain, almost tasteless oatmeal every day. It contains all the nutrients you need. You are also given enough water to live. But that's all they do for you. The promise of living a life of luxury in isolation was a lie to get you into Room A, after all, who would choose death when a life of moderate luxury(albeit isolation) is the other option?
I voted for Room A for the aforementioned reasons, but I would probably wait the two hours out to see what happens.

Wait it out to see what happens. I don't trust random people. For all i know they could just be baiting me with some non-existent cake. Second, video games, anime, manga will only last me so long, and not whole 20 years and even the emotionless puppet wouldn't help me much. If there was at least internet access and online games i would choose room A but researchers might consider those to be communication with the outside world.
And suicide just isn't my thing.
Ergo, i wait the 2 hours out.

ok, let me get this straight... room A = all the games and accessories you could ever want, any food that you might desire, a personal clone of your choice, and you don't have to deal with anyone, including all stupid people for 20 years?
son of a bitch, sign me up for 40!

Yeah, online gaming would fall under contact with the outside world.

Room A.
My life is insignificant as it is. A personal slave would be cool, although i'd go crazy without talking to someone (well, them talking back).
In fact, room A kinda seems like heaven for the unsociable. Fuck it, i've basically been doing 'room A' for 18 years.
Ouch, room A is a better life than my own -.-

So much for possibly going into room A...

For me this is a no contest. Through out my current lifetime, all my ideals pointed to continue living, if only for the sake of living. I'd choose door A.
As for why, honestly the first year would be the hardest part of the whole situation, since even the most closed in hermit of our generation has SOME sort of contact with the.. ah.. outside world. Basically that first year would be dealing with the whole situation, but after that... who knows what would happen?
In my case most likely I WOULD go crazy after the second year, but the funny thing about being crazy is that you do not know you are crazy! That would last a short while, then I would focus on everything I've wanted to do but never had the time, resources, or really inclination to care for. Since the first 2 years are done, I have 18 years to do, learn, and adjust.
We are human, it's called adapting.
If I managed to keep my sanity in check after the 20 years, I would only be middle age and have a lot of technical knowledge as well as creative ideas/tools that may (or may not) be useful to the 20 year in the future society.
I mean, 18 years of learning and working with various tools (virtually unlimited according to the description), pretty damn sure I'd have created something no other person in the world would of thought of doing.
Now if all the... 'genuine' dickweeds, jackasses, ect people still exist in full when I get back from that 20 year isolation, whatever I created would most likely be used to deal with that! -Cue evil scientist laugh-
or become a mad dictator, either works.
