Stay alive
Beautiful sunny day you go for a walk to enjoy the outdoors. You know about the one hiding place, hidden from prying eyes. You go light, and do not intend to stay there for long. A couple of bottles of water, sandwiches, phone and MP3 player - that's all you need to relax. Time flies, and now almost dark. You decide to go way back, and on the way home you fall into a crevasse at a depth of 20 meters. You have a broken leg and you can not move. The phone does not work, the water is running out, the food is almost over, and it seems that you will not last long. What should I do in this situation? How strong is your desire to survive?
