If your ship is sinking, how would you bale out?

Question

Suppose your ship is sinking. You have on board the following:

1. A 150 pound pig;
2. 150 pounds of your favorite drink;
3. A 150 pound bad of fully prepared corn;
4. A 100 pound charcoal grill, including everything you need for a feast.

Assume you weigh 150 pounds, and the load limit of your life raft is 570 pounds. Which of the above would you leave behind to go down with the ship? Do you have any other solutions?

Answer 1

Toss fifteen to 20 pounds of corn, and drink.
Toss the grill, no need to risk burning the raft.
Save the pig and myself, all under 570 pounds.

Be rewarded heavily by PETA when rescued, for rescuing the pig. And then use the reward to make sure the pig lives at the Peace Abbey in Sherborn, Massachusetts till the end of his days.

Answer 2

I'd feed the pig a bunch of the corn and then gorge on it myself, then I'd save:

Me: 150 pounds
Pig 150 pounds
150 pounds of my favorite drink
And pile 120 pounds of corn in the center of the raft for the pig and I to eat.


I'm saving the pig because I don't want it to die, not because I plan on eating it.

A grill would not be useful on a life raft, and I wouldn't have anything I wanted to grill anyway.

Answer 3

that would depend if I was sinking in salt water or not. If it wasnt salt water no mater how dirty the water i would still have somthing to drink. I would probably grab corn and put it in the raft. I would swim with the raft and when i got tired i would jump back in the raft for a nap. If it was salt water i would probably take a drink and then take the grill grab on to it and sink with the grill! haha i dont know the real answer to this so i thought i would make mine fun. The real answer is to hard for me to figure out!

Answer 4

The Duke's (contemporary) *genuine* function is to experience shotgun for an entire flotilla of freighters plying the North Atlantic seaboard of west Africa decrease than shifty flags of convenience. quite a few different vessels are in touch in patrolling those maritime territories at any given time, ranging each and each of ways from the northernmost promontory of Senegal to the eastern limitations of Cote D'Ivoire. Paramilitary operations from and including Ghana with the aid of to the Cameroons are carried out at a miles less obvious point, because of the fact the west has consistently did not bind those extra robust states to any thinly disguised financial treaties. a quick flight out of the Americas can actual attain small craft stationed on the African area of the commerce course so as that products might nicely be transferred from air to water offshore. as quickly as moored back the products can actual be transshipped to any between the aforementioned freighters. In result, the Duke on a drug busting excursion, and that i may well be happy to guess sturdy money they shipped the royal toad in ahead of waiting-made plans to make the bust. as quickly as back the royal PR device is striving to insult our intelligence. till they actually think of each and every physique might relatively be dumb adequate to have self assurance that the vessel on which little Willy only occurred to be serving only occurred to place a lynx interior the air, which only occurred to be conscious a small boat which only occurred to have fantastically much 2000 lbs of sherbet on board. I propose, c'mon.

Answer 5

That's simple. I will dump the pig into the water for the sharks and save myself on a lifeboat. I will leave the drink, corn and the grill behind. Who would take those when you are talking about your life?

Answer 6

i will put the pig on the raft
use my charcoal grill to cook something to eat real quick, i'll eat some of my corn, i'll drink all my favor drink, then i'll jump in the water and pull the pig to safty, then i'll problly eat some grass.

Answer 7

I would keep myself, the pig and the corn. I could obtain water from the sea using the evaporateur (a small device I carry on me at all times.)
The wee piggy and myself would be laughing happy.

Answer 8

I'd leave the corn and take everything else. Could I substitute the pig for a man......or is that the same thing?

...........Ah come on, I'm just joking, I love men

Answer 9

yes, the same solution I offered in the other silly question-How do you plan to slaughter and butcher the poor little pig-God didnt give you the talent, tools and skill needed to do that, so you are NOT designed to eat meat. The fact that you have to cook it first confirms that. Get a life, huh?

Answer 10

I'm hydrophobic, So I think I'd try to suffocate my face in the pig's croch to kill myself before the ship went down.
