<p>This reminds me of a problem I was given in a critical reasoning course in college.</p>
<p>“You are in a boat with your mother, your spouse, and your newborn baby. The boat is taking on water fast and there is no way to save the boat. You have just one life vest and can only hold onto one person and are far from land, so you must choose just ONE person to take with you. Who do you pick?”</p>
<p>Now the rules don’t allow just giving the vest to the spouse and having the spouse take the baby, say. It’s supposed to be a logic problem with a “logical” answer. Any guesses as to what the professor felt the “correct” answer?</p>
