Hello family,
I hope you are all fine. I came across a scenario online and I tried to think on how I would solve it.
Here's the scenario;
A man is trapped in a dangerous situation. He is sitting on a branch of a tree that stands above a river where two hungry crocodiles wait just below him. The tree is broken halfway, leaving only two strong branches. Behind him is another branch where, directly below, a male lion is waiting on land. On the same branch where the man sits, a snake is slowly crawling toward him. Every path seems blocked; the crocodiles below, the lion on land, and the snake approaching on the same branch and none of the predators are leaving.
If it were me, I would provoke the snake so that it tries to strike. At the moment it attacks, I would grab it by the neck, pull it, and throw it into the river where the two crocodiles are. That sudden movement would distract the crocodiles as they turn their attention to the snake and begin to fight over it. Taking advantage of that distraction, I would jump into the river and quickly swim to the other side, away from all three dangers. I see the lion as the most dangerous of them all, so escaping toward the opposite riverbank would be my best chance of survival.
So what do you think you would have done if it was you?
