Tess, the only thing I can say about the majical fruit is... it sure didn't work for my villager. I was making him a master doc so would have him study the cactus, eat the fruit, study the cactus, etc. for FOUR STRAIGHT hours. He died at 74 yrs. old. I was NOT a happy camper. If it takes longer than four non-stop hours of having someone eat the the majic fruit to live till thier 90's... count me out.
