This should be in the quizzes forum.

PH01

Most probable scenario
To combat the direct rays of the sun, you place the plastic over you. Thirst is quenched by sipping from the can of water. 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. To get the tarp in a protective location, you tie it down with the rope
You have endured many hazards with little harm to your health. Your thoughts turn towards finding means of protecting yourself from exposure. 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!

Got it in 3, though I still think that the Fishing Kit is very important.

PH01

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. After covering the body with the repellent, survivors try to relax with a dip in the ocean Everyone complains about the sunburns, and attempts to don things to protect themselves from exposure to the sun. As you drink from the ocean, your tongue swells from the saltwater. The mosquito netting is used to catch fish, but is ripped apart and tossed instead. Hunger sets in, you look for things to chew. You notice a plane flying overhead during the evening, But you cannot get their attention. Out of fear you drink the rum The cushion is used to keep people afloat while getting refreshed in the ocean
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. Sharks kill most of the survivors. Everyone has burned skin and needs medical attention! One dies of suffocation of their swelled tongue. Thoughts of real food impede your attempts to stay focused on the problem at hand! The night plane flies overhead, but does not see you! You pass out and the next day die of exposure! A shark attacks the crew member using the cushion

Most probable scenario
To combat the direct rays of the sun, you place the plastic over you. Thirst is quenched by sipping from the can of water. No fish are caught, seems to be a bad area for fishing! 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.
You have endured many hazards with little harm to your health. Your thoughts turn towards finding means of protecting yourself from exposure. The fish caught have not been suitable for eating, your rations continue to deminish. 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!

Got this first time around but couldn't figure out why I couldn't get the 99% you lot were all getting till I saw that I needed to ditch the maps for the rope. I just guessed that the plastic could be held and used as a sail - just like in castaway. He used it till the wind blew it away. Using the maps you could work out your general position and sail to safety. Ah well.

Hanginthere

You can see the reflection of the sun on a mirror for 6 miles or somthing crazy like that

Figured the mirror was obvious for catching glimpses of the sun and the plastic to deflect the suns heat. Didn't think the rope was of any use because I didn't think there was anything to anchor to it. Didn't think of setting the water on fire though..

I actually thought the plastic was for distilling sea water: Fill up a container with sea water, hold the plastic over it, it evaporates and collects on the underside of the plastic and then you run it into another container. Also leaves you with some salt to season the inedible fish!

Hmmmmm


Most probable scenario
You are able to determine what direction your are going, but your attempts change directions are adversely prevented by the ocean currents. Attempting to tune into a station proves futile. What stations are available do not cover emergencies! Everyone complains about the sunburns, and attempts to don things to protect themselves from exposure to the sun. As you drink from the ocean, your tongue swells from the saltwater. The mosquito netting is used to catch fish, but is ripped apart and tossed instead. Hunger sets in, you look for things to chew. You notice a plane flying overhead during the evening, But you cannot get their attention. Out of fear you drink the rum To compensate for hunger, you each some chocolate, but it only makes it worse The cushion is used to keep people afloat while getting refreshed in the ocean
Out of frustration, the sextant is tossed overboard. No one attempts to retrieve it. The radio is tossed over the side of the raft! Everyone has burned skin and needs medical attention! One dies of suffocation of their swelled tongue. Thoughts of real food impede your attempts to stay focused on the problem at hand! The night plane flies overhead, but does not see you! You pass out and the next day die of exposure! Most of your food supplies are diminished and now you hope rescue is soon A shark attacks the crew member using the cushion
