scan of lifeboat exercise page out of handbook from a court ordered class

It was the instructor's first class & he had a Phd which I respected since I was sure it was a real one, not one of those mail-ordered ones like Barbara De Angelis & her ex, John Gray, purportedly have. (In one of her videos she starts in about evolution theory and how women are better at multi-tasking ⇾ it's not really a legitimate trait - anyway, that's a separate issue...)

so when our group got to this page in the handbook I had to speak up since it seemed a bit too cruel of an assignment.

The plain text of the exercise.
