Ikigai: Humanity’s Last Hope amidst Unprecedented Chaos

Date: 12th March 2024

We did not look up, and a massive asteroid collision earlier today stoked the already dry & dying
forests. The Ozone hole, owing to chemicals released by the asteroid into the atmosphere, is not just
a hole anymore. (Global Warming is real) There are fires and toxic gases in the atmosphere and its
increasing at an unprecedented rate. It is evident, humanity’s time on Earth is over and not all of us
will make it to our extraterrestrial home. Although there might not be hope for all, there is hope for
some. We want the brilliance of humanity to outshine this terrible catastrophe, and this is where
Ikigai is going to be humanity’s saviour. We are providing this remarkable chance to the top 5 teams
to exit Earth.

Here is how it works:

A fellow biomedical scientist just invented 3 pills-a black, a red & a blue. He used 4 chemicals in
different proportions -Chemical A, B, C & D- to manufacture those 3 pills. His goal was to give extra
time to a few humans to increase their air absorption capacity to enable them to board the Ikigai
flight to a world far far away.
The black pill did not work and in fact had terrible side effects leading to instant death.

Round 1
We have specimens for 3 pills, but unfortunately, we don’t know which one is which.

Find the death pill amongst the specimen, if it exists, and eliminate it.

Unfortunately, the derivatives of the 4 chemicals have been destroyed by the fire, but another
researcher proved today that the 4 chemicals are in fact a vector sum of 2 components and these
components can be procured with ease.

1. Video submission –Reel: Introduction of the team explain problem statement and how they will
approach it using Ikigai explain which pill you didn't choose – Most popular solution (Likes and
comments on reels – tag Ikigai and analytics club on reel)

2. Pill to choose, and vector components of the remaining pills – Answers on unstop only

Find the vector components for the non-death pills)

The blue pill & red pill have different rates of air absorption.
Unfortunately, the derivatives of the 4 chemicals have been destroyed by the fire, but another
researcher proved today that the 4 chemicals are in fact a vector sum of 2 components and these
components can be procured with ease.
