Question 1/10
What a nice day for a sail! But your relaxation is quickly turned to panic when a massive storm hits. You have just enough time to deploy the life raft and...
- Send out a distress signal on the radio
- Grab a few things that might be useful
- Secure your valuables
- Try once more to save the boat
Question 2/10
Well, that's it. It's just you, an inflatable raft, and ocean as far as the eye can see. What's the first thing you do?
- Go through the supplies and see what's there
- Let off a flare or two
- Yell for help
- Start planning a course of action
- Probably cry, to be honest
Question 3/10
How good of a swimmer are you?
- Great; I could be, like, a dolphin or something
- Good; I'm no Michael Phelps, but I can hold my own
- Decent; I won't drown on the spot, but don't expect much
- Poor; I can doggy paddle and maybe tread water for a while
- Hopeless; I sink faster than a rock... a really heavy rock
Question 4/10
Would you rather be stranded alone or with someone else?
- By myself; it's lonely, but my supplies and raft will be better off
- With a partner; there's strength in numbers, and the emotional support wouldn't hurt
- With someone else; I can always eat them later, if necessary

Question 6/10
How will you navigate your course?

What scares you the most about being stranded at sea?
- Starvation or dehydration
- Sharks!!!

Question 8/10
Speaking of sharks, a few massive fins just started circling your raft. You...
