    The document describes a scenario where 11 survivors of a shipwreck must decide which 6 people to throw overboard in order to ensure the highest chance of survival for the remaining passengers on a lifeboat with limited resources. It provides brief descriptions of each passenger, including their name, age, occupation, personal details, and in some cases undesirable past actions or medical information. The task is to review each passenger one-by-one and decide whether they should stay or be thrown overboard, with the option to reconsider your decision after viewing their background details. It prompts the reader to consider questions around making judgments based on appearances, measuring tolerance as a group, and whether knowledge of personal information would influence decisions.
