boat for the boat to totally float.

need to remove 2 more people to lighten up the boats weight and avoid from
sinking.
4. Now, 2 sharks try to destroy your boat but it can only be prevented by giving
2 more friends to the sharks and the sharks will not bother you anymore and
go away.

the toll in the port but you dont have money. The coastguard said that you
can go with your friends if ever you are going to leave 1 friend with the
guard.
Now, there are only 2 people left in the boat. Why did you choose to let him/her stay
