Your Life Raft
Your sailboat has capsized and you are now adrift
in the ocean on a small life raft.
There are 15 items floating in the water near you.
Answer the questions correctly to retrieve each of
the items. Each time you successfully retrieve an
item you will improve your chances of survival as
shown on the Survival Meter on the buoy. If you
answer the question incorrectly the item will sink
and all chances of retrieving it will be gone
You chances of surviving your ordeal will be
dependent upon the total percentage shown on the
Survival Meter on the buoy when all 15 items have
passed by your raft.
Now prepare yourself and begin by clicking on
Start Game in your life raft.

Did you survive?
Read the Survival Meter to determine
how well you did.

69% or less = Poor
If your chances of survival are less
than 70%, you should continue to
practice to improve your skills.
