If you could only play 5 notes for the rest of your natural life, which ones would you choose and why?

The 5 notes of the pentatonic scale, of course.

What do you mean by a note?
Do you mean a musical pitch played once? In other words, you can play exactly five notes one time each, and then nothing after that?
Do you mean a note name but not a range, such as C in any octave you choose?
Do you mean a specific pitch, such as C two octaves below Middle C as opposed to Middle C?
Do you mean pitches that stand in interval relations to one another as opposed to specific pitches?
What about bent notes, which change pitch as they're played?
Anybody considering drastic limitations has to understand clearly exactly what those limitations are.

That still doesn't answer the very first question, Frank.
In other words, a note can mean a sound played ONE TIME. If that's part of your definition, then I could play exactly five notes ONE time each and then would have to shut up for the rest of my life.
That's very different from being able to play, say, the 5 pitches A, B, C#, D and E as many times as I wanted for the rest of my life.
So which is it?

Yes, you can only use "the same" 5 notes for the rest of your life and they can be different pitches - So if someone chooses E,F,G,A,B - those are the notes they are stuck with till death... which would you choose and why?

The question itself suggest a complete lack of musical knowledge....sorry.
You obviously posess musical knowledge so I'm totally baffled as to what you're getting at....if anything.

It seems you have discovered the answer by questioning the question while acknowledeing the questioners posession - now go forth, comfortable that the truth has been revealed to your inner godhood :)

You may only choose one to last FOREVER - just do it, don't ask why - but when you do pick it, why did you pick that "1"?

Technically silence is a note too, and should be "played" more...so that only leaves you 4 "noisy" notes
