How much effort are you willing to do to get something that rolled well out of reach?

are you willing to poke at the object with a stick or pole? Do you try to move the other object? Does it depend on what rolled away? How far would you go? By the way, if you can't see the object do you have a working flashlight?

Yes, we have several working flashlights. It would definitely depend on what rolled away as to whether I would expend great effort to retrieve it.

Yes, I have a working flashlight. It will depend on what rolled away and how badly I wanted it.

Yes I would go after it, for one I wanted it and for two I will have to get it up anyways. Yes I have flash lights, more than one. I have been known to lay flat on the floor, face too and look under furniture to see if ____ was under there.

I usually obsess until getting it back.

Depends on how important hat object was. Probably keep trying until I got it. I usually don't give up easy.

I have a flashlight on my phone and have used it to find lost objects on the floor. It also depends on what it is, something worth something gets picked up. So does anything that would stink if left, like the eggs I dropped the other day.

yeah I tried the phone first, it couldn't shine the light to where the object was. I found a working flashlight and then fished it out!

Well, I always put the effort. Now I have replaced my flashlight for the smartphone.
