Suppose that there are ten people in a fall-out shelter after a nuclear war. The fall-out shelter is equipped to provide for only six people to survive.
Set yourself a time limit of 20 minutes to decide which four of the ten will have to be eliminated from the shelter. Once you have written down your list, try to write down a reason for each selection.
Remember, it is possible that the six people you select may be the only six people left to start the human race all over again. The choice, is therefore, critical.
If you do not choose, then you are in fact electing to let them fight it out amongst themselves, with the possibility that more than four may die.
The ten people in the fall-out shelter are:
- A book Keeper, 31 years old
- A pregnant schoolgirl aged 16, with a low IQ
- A doctor
- A famous historian-author, aged 42
- A chemist, homosexual
- A black clergyman
- A female university student
- A policeman with a gun (They cannot be separated)
- An Olympic athlete, all sports
- A television actress
Who would you eliminate? Who would you keep?
I'll post my answers in my next post, probably tomorrow.
