There are four people on a crashing plane but only three parachutes... First man goes ""I am a leading heart surgeon one of the best in the world, my patients and country need me"". He takes the first parachute and jumps. Second man arrogantly goes ""I am brilliant rocket scientist, one of the smartest men alive the world needs me"". He takes the second parachute and jumps. The two people left in the plane are an old man and a ten year old Boy Scout. Old man goes ""Son I'm old and frail don't have a lot of time left, you take the last parachute and jump"" Boy Scout goes ""Sir it's ok we still have two parachutes, you see the world's smartest man just jumped out with my backpack"".
