SOS! Fifteen people are trapped aboard a ship that's going

>>37376751
That's a trick question. All of them can "see" the dry land.

>>37376751

If it's not a trick question then my guess is 9. Four passengers for each trip and the one person steering the raft.

>>37376751
none because they will fight till all die

>>37376773
That's technically correct, but not the answer it's looking for.
>>37376821
>>37376835
Wrong.

13? First the five travelling the first tur, and one goes back to get four more, and the last time four more.

I say 13 as well

>>37376872
if it's not zero it's five
not a single person of them will row back to save the others - btw how many ppl are needed to operate the raft?

>>37376872
But technically correct is the best kind of correct!

Self-rowing rafts?

>>37376946
who drives the raft back? it doesn't float back by itself

>>37376946
KABOOOOOOMM

>>37376965
>>37376975
>>37376978
I take it back, I'm a dumbass. Forgot someone needs to row the raft.

13

now the question is, which two do you leave and why?

>>37377023
You and OP

>>37377023
I'd engage in a mortal combat and max 5 survive. Or I'd sink the raft.

>20 minutes
>5 people on raft
>drops off 4 people
>back to boat
>11 minutes remaining

>5 people on the raft
>drop off 4
>return to boat
>2 minutes remaining

>5 people escape

So 4+4+5 = 13

>>37377056
you are all blatantly ignoring human nature
0- max 5 survive

Am I retarded
Where does 13 come from? I think only 2 turns would be possible because the last time the boat can't make it back to the ship on time

Yes it can, it would still have ~2 minutes, so assuming 4 people can get in a boat in that time, that's an extra 4 people that survive.

You will not be one of those 4 people however for failing to understand this.

>>37377146
it's a 9 minute round trip anon, so by the time 18 minutes have passed, two sets of passengers have been dropped off on the island and the boat is ready for the next set

>>37377146
>1 ship to land, 11 minutes reman
>back to the ship also takes 9 minutes -2 minutes remain
I counted 9 in all

Talking a big game for someone who only just realised escape boats cannot self row.

Fuck I thought 9 minutes was one way ok sorry anons

>>37377187
it's a 9 min > round trip <

9 mins has passed and the boat is back at the sinking ship

>>37377187
it's a 9 minute ROUND TRIP anon

Is it 13 peolpe?

>>37376751
All of them.

You ever see those boats full of """refugees""" crossing the mediterranean? I guarantee those boats were not designed to fit 100 people, but they manage to squash them all on there and float to safety anyway. The boat would probably only fit 15, normally.
