Controversial Commentary: What's in the News AND a Game

Controversial Commentary: Saad Bedrie-Hussein
CNN reported that the man above has been held and charged with knowingly and willing mailing a letter with contaminant material with the intent to kill or injure another. He sent president-elect Obama a letter containing his own HIV infected blood, along with a powdered substance (found to be a drink mix). Hussein said he was searching for help from the government. An evaluator found Hussein to be mentally unstable and unaware of his actions. His prior arrest in March of 2006 will have some effect on the matter

GAME:
Scenario is you've crashed with some friends in the desert (ground temperature 130F). You're 70 miles from the nearest habitation (mining camp). The plane that you crashed on burned, you and your group were however, able to salvage 15 items in good condition. List the following items from 1 to 15, 1 being the most essential and 15 being the least.

Scoring:
After I post the actual rankings, you find your score by taking the difference between what you ranked the item and its actual rank. Add those differences up. If you score less than 35, you would survive.

I scored 77. Ha! Guess everyone out there has different reasons for what they choose.
