I just think that's way too many assumptions with way too high a risk factor. But I suppose there's not a lot of really good options when you're in that situation, and trying to disable the collar is a more optimal way to go out than others. I just don't think it would be anywhere near easy to disable the things. Maybe the best percentage play - but it would be more accurate to say it was the least bad percentage play IMO.

(Nah, he doesn't hack the collar, he knows how to disable it because before he went on the island he hacked into the government's computers and learned how to disable it. The actual disabling doesn't involve hacking, IIRC)

Hahaha "way too high risk factor" is an odd value judgement when your other plan is "murder everyone you see and hope none of them have decided to just hide from everyone, effectively committing group murder/suicide when the time runs out".

If you hide yourself, you've got three days to make observations about the collar and how it works before committing to a course of action. That's a lot of time when it's literally the only thing you have to do and if you don't do it you'll die.

(How does he disable them, though?)

I think this is one of those cases where I'm disagreeing with the way you're saying something more than what you're saying, and that's kind of a dumb way to be. So I'll cede the point.

SPOILER SECTION (We don't actually know because the disabling takes place offscreen for plot reasons - there's a whole big fake out thing, you don't actually know that's what he did until a while later. So I don't really know the answer. And I don't think that the author really would have been able to describe the process anyway, or the mechanics of the actual devices for that matter.)
