Two friends, Jairo and Miguel, are walking in a very dry forest. Suddenly, they see a huge fire approaching. On the other side of the path there is a large mountain that is impossible to climb to escape. The wind blows drawing the fire closer, and they think that in just one day they will be overtaken. Miguel tells Jairo that they are not going to die, since he brought a box of matches, food and enough water to last a day.

What is Miguel’s plan to escape?

Reply:

Wildfires need wood, brush, or grass to spread. Using the matches, they can start a fire at the beginning of the mountain. The wind will blow the flames to that part and burn all the vegetation in the area. Then they will be able to protect themselves on the burnt surface.

Diego wakes up trapped in a room with 4 doors. The room has a mattress where Diego can sleep, some food and a water dispenser so he doesn’t die of thirst. When he approaches one of the doors to try to leave, he hears an announcement that tells him what’s behind the door.

Behind the first one there is a room 50 meters long contaminated with toxic gas. In the second there is a bomb that will explode as soon as the door is opened. Behind the third and fourth doors are, respectively, poisonous snakes and hungry sharks.

Which port should Diego choose and why?

Reply:

Diego can escape using the first door, going through the room that has toxic gas. He must empty the dispenser with water and place it on his face so that he can breathe and not come into contact with contaminated air. That way, he can cross the room without inhaling the poison.
