Plane Crash Survival

This test is based on a sub-arctic airplane crash scenario commonly used to test team work in corporations. Over a series of questions you will be asked to rank 15 items according to their usefulness for survival.

It is October. You are flying with four of your colleagues from Schefferville in North West Canada to a research station where you will be spending the next two weeks. Shortly after take-off the pilot suffers a heart attack and the plane shallow dives into a frozen lake. You and your friends scramble to the shore, soaked to the waist, and turn to see the plane sink below the water. You have managed to rescue the following items, along with some small change and a small penknife:

You have a 64% chance of survival!

Lost At Sea

You are adrift on a private yacht in the south pacific. As a consequence of a fire of unknown origin, much of the yacht and its contents have been destroyed. The yacht is now slowly sinking. Your location is unclear due of the distruction of critical navigational equipment and because you and the crew were distracted trying to bring the fire under control. Your best estimate is that you are approximately one thousand miles south-southwest of the nearest land.

Most probable scenario
You have isolated exactly where you are, and you plan a trajectory to take you to safe shores. You are able to determine what direction your are going, but your attempts change directions are adversely prevented by the ocean currents. To combat the direct rays of the sun, you place the plastic over you. As you drink from the ocean, your tongue swells from the saltwater. Hunger is satisfied with the C rations. You notice a plane flying overhead, so you pour some oil/gas onto the waters and light it. A plane flies overhead during the day, you use your mirror to shine a reflection of the sun to catch their attention.

No matter what you do, you cannot navigate your raft to safe shores. Out of frustration, the sextant is tossed overboard. No one attempts to retrieve it. You have endured many hazards with little harm to your health. One dies of suffocation of their swelled tongue. After days of waiting for rescue, you still have your stamina! You are noticed and rescued! The plane sees the reflected light and identifies you, you have been found!

Your overall survival IQ is 53.
Your ability to stay alive is 29%
Your ability to protect yourself from the elements is 47%
Your ability to catch the attention of your rescuers is 83%

There are tv shows like survivor and lost, and there are different states of survival.
