Tennisball Activity
There was two challenges. The first challenge was to see which of the 2 teams could get the tennisball to touch every member of the team first. The second challenge was to see which of the 2 teams could get the tennisball to touch every member of the team first with everyone's eyes closed. The plan my team came up with to solve the challenges was for this first one to put our hands together in a circle that had an angle to where the ball would flow through. For the second challenge we had 1 person stand in the middle and everyone else go in a circle around him with one of our arms out at the same height so the person in the middle could just stick out his arm and spin in a circle tagging everyone else. Both plans worked out good. I would do both the plans the same but I would try to have it go faster and get more practice so we won't mess up. Our group worked together pretty well. Everyone just said their ideas and the best one our group agreed on was the one we did.
One more thing we did was our group got into a circle and since our group had an odd number of people we threw the tennis ball to every other person in our group and eventually it would end up getting everyone due to our odd number.
We lost the first challenge but came back on the second challenge to claim a victory.

Stranded at Sea
We organized the most important things to have if you're trapped at sea. We were given a list and had to number them off from most important to least important. This is my ranking of the items: A 25 liter container of water, a case of army rations, a fishing kit, maps of the Pacific Ocean, a sextant, a can of shark repellent, 20 sq. feet of Opaque plastic sheeting, a shaving mirror, 15 ft. of nylon rope, a floating seat cushion, 2 boxes of chocolate bars, one bottle of 160% proof rum, a small transistor radio, a 10 liter can of oil/petrol mixture, and a quantity of mosquito netting. I chose a 25 liter container of water and a case of army rations as my first two choices because you need food and water to survive and have energy to get rescued and do what you have to do. A quantity of mosquito netting was my last choice because there is no mosquitos in the middle of the ocean. Some items that I had a hard time ranking were a can of shark repellent, a floating seat cushion, and a sextant.

Two items that the group ranked similar to mine were the water and army rations. Supplies is very important in survival, you need energy to use energy. One thing my group ranked differently from mine was the sextant. Our group worked together by discussing plans on how to survive while discussing plans on how to get rescued.
Our choices were similar to the Coastguard choices. There were a couple big surprises in the difference of a couple things. I would put more weight in experiential data over an expert opinion because an expert only researched about it and never had to actually do it in that kind of position. Someone who experienced it and experienced how the day is and how you live being stranded so I would probably listen to that over an expert's opinion.
