How about a lifeboat question for you?

[msc545]

You are on a large cruise ship with 300 women, 300 men, and 20 crew, all men. There are no children. The ship has lifeboats that can accommodate 400 people.

In the night in the north Atlantic, the ship hits an iceberg and is sinking fast. Who gets to be in a lifeboat and why? Who stays behind (and probably drowns) and why?

[NathanDavis]

first... all those with children

then, the younger ones... those would be the two factors I would think should count first

as for those who stay in the sinking... all the crew including the captain, for not bring enough lifeboats, then all those who volunteer to stay knowing or thinking that they could still find solutions as to how to keep afloat... and those older ones who already had great and long lives

also staying those first idiots that are just selfish and to fight or kill just to get ahead in the boats, those who think Aaron Rodgers is better than Tom Brady, but you also stay...

[msc545]

Uh, there are no children as I stated.

[NathanDavis]

okay... to be more clear, those with children in their lives... lol

those who are parents, with families of their own waiting for them... back at home

and by children I mean little ones... not children that are already 25 to 50 or something, lol

The 300 women and me. If we landed on a deserted island I would have my hands full but it sure would be fun.

[msc545]

😂😂😂😂

Thanks for the MHO

Me. I take all the life boats as spares, just in case they all hit other ice bergs 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

lmfao I’m dying lol

so basically 200 of both men and women-

the crew stays with the remainders, so they can figure out and discuss why they didn’t have more life boats for themselves.

[Rosexøxø]

I seriously have to watch that movie now. It’s just a given 😂👌 but it’s so cringe uhhhh

@NathanDavis answer.

the ones left behind are orderd to cut up the wood on the boat to make rafts.

The radio man is ordered to wire out to the women's boats...

[msc545]

Interesting but no time for these things. Ships sink fast.

[TroyDT2]

The ones who get into them fastest. If they take the time to play, "Well he's 25 and has twins at home." and other such things, they'll all drown since the ship is "sinking fast."

[Jamie05rhs]

The ones wearing a "Black Lives Matter" t-shirt get saved. All the others drown.

The ones with the best fighting skills.
Logically, it should be a lottery system and an organised and ordered line.
Of course, many will have commitments, children or otherwise, back home but this is beyond the question.

[LordOfThePines]

300 women, 100 men.

[msc545]

Why?

[LordOfThePines]

No reason, to be blunt. I have little data to make what I consider to be a well informed decision, so it would be wholly arbitrary to what I happen to type out.

[msc545]

ok good answer!
