travelling at 1 mile per hour and only gave them water to drink, which one would die of starvation first?
ie. does having more weight mean you burn more calories just by carrying that weight around or do we all burn fat at the same rate?

The fatter person would probably die of a heart attack first anyway, so then if you were being totally sadistic and still weren't feeding the thin guy, he could avoid starvation by eating the expired fat person?

The thin person would starve first, because even though the fat person burned more calories per hour, his/her fat stores would last long after the thin person's were exhausted.

Hmm I think the fat person might use more calories cos they are moving more body weight. But if the skinny person is 1/2 their weight I dont think it will be that much of an issues.
So I say the skinny person

I guess that the fat person would keep going longer. Not certain though!
Try it!
I am under 10 stone so could volunteer. Oh no, that means I would probably die first. Maybe not then!

Depends on the fitness of each person but generally the fat guy will live longer (assuming he doesn't die from heart attack)

The thin person - if they dozed off to sleep they'd be dragged to their death, and same if the fat person dozed off - either way, they're dragging the skinny b*tch with them.
