SOS!! Fifteen people are trapped aboard a ship that's going to sink in exactly 20 minutes. Their only chance for survival is the five-person life raft stowed on their vessel. to make matters worse, the waters around the ship are teeming with man-eating sharks, so swimming to safety is out of the question.
A round-trip to the nearest island and back to the boat takes nine minutes on the raft. How many people will live to see dry land?
The two lonely, sad people are standing on the deck of the ship as it begins glurg, glurg, glurg to sink into the briny deep. They huddle together for warmth knowing their impending doom is moments away. When suddenly out of the sky comes a brilliant light. There is the White Star in all its splendor. As President Sheridan reaches out his hand to help the remaining two people into the White Star Jennie and Christie turn and wave lovingly at the people remaining on the island below. The light dims as the White Star forms a jump gate and they whisk out of sight headed to Babylon 5 and home.

Nine people, because one would have to drive the raft back from land to the boat for the second load.
Close but try again.
13.
All 15, because there are 3 or more rafts on board of the vessal.
Wrong whomever you are...There is only one five-man life raft.
And Kellie is the winner of a lovely assortment of multi-colored toothpicks!!
YAAAAAAAAY!!! I'll build myself a boat with them! :)
Okay I don't like unhappy endings, let's rewrite to question to make it a 6 man life boat so everyone lives! Yay!
I agree...because then you get into that ethics issue of who gets to live and who dies! Ish...not a fun situation. >:P
Okay, okay. I made it a happy ending. Satisfied?
hahaha! The rest of the family will miss you two!
LOL. Okay I'm happy now! Though I am sure that you two will be far happier. ;)
