guys, actually this is from my economics teacher and he asked us this riddle of some sort!.!.!.
"It was is 2078 that a tragic meteor rain happened and wiped out almost all the people in the world!.!.
except for 20 people!.!.!.
They were inside a cave and they can't go outside!.
The problem was, the food can only last for six months and the meteor rain will be lasting for a year!.!.!.
To ensure that there would still be people to walk on earth on 2079, ten must sacrifice and go outside so that the food wouldnt be used up less than a year!.!.!.
You must choose ten people who should live and state the reasons why!.!.!.
Our teacher said that you could apply mathematical priciples in solving this!.!.!. I anybody knows the answer, please include it in the answer!.!.!.!.
btw, the 20 people left from whom you would choose who's gonna live were:
doctor
baby
driver
ice cream vendor
