Question:
Two men (or women, but I feel safer saying it's men because I'm not stupid) are lost in the wilderness. There is plenty of water but no food.
Both are six feet tall, same build, but one is 12 stone and the other is 30 stone.
How much longer would the fat man take to starve to death?
That's assuming he doesn't eat the thin man.
I know the thin man could kill the fat man in his sleep by smothering him with branches from a tree and stuffing clumps of earth in his mouth and live for much longer by eating the fat man and then drying out strips of his flesh and hanging them off his belt for later, like Bear Grylls no doubt would. But let's assume they don't eat each other. Would the thin man starve much sooner than the fat man?
Subsidiary question, if they didn't eat each other, walking out of the wilderness, would the thin man get further because he had less weight to carry and could keep going longer, or would the fat man get further because he had all that lard to feed off to keep him going?
I think the fat man would, for sure. And that's why, if I was in that situation as the thin man, I would definitely kill the fat man and eat him. If I could get a fire going. Barbecue mainly.
Or just eat him raw, the fat bastard.
Basically, thin man, fat man, who survives?
Unless they stumbled across a woman with enormous tits, then maybe they would both survive.
There are always variables.
I need a rethink of this question. It's difficult being a scientist like me.
Anyway, I need more drink. Laters...
