- [Narrator] Ever been
trapped in a sinking car? Poisoned by toxic mushrooms
or attacked by hippos? No? Well, then you must be
worried about it, right? Extreme danger could be
lurking just about anywhere, so it's really important
you're prepared for the worst. Put yourself to the test with
these 10 survival riddles that you must solve to stay alive. Listen carefully and think fast, it might just save your life. (playful music) - Amazing. - [Narrator] Number 10, Rhino Attack. You're on safari, and you
hear a strange grunting noise coming from behind you. You turn and find yourself face to face with an angry rhinoceros, and he looks like he's about to charge. Do you: A, puff your chest up to
make yourself look bigger. B, play dead. Or, C, hide behind a tree. Answer quickly, it's coming right for you. (projector whirring) (beeping) Now, let's see if you'd survive. If you went for the first option and puffed up your chest to
try and scare the rhino off, you'd better take a long,
hard look at yourself. Unless you're Bryan Mills, an angry rhino isn't going
to be frightened of you, and my money is on him in a fight. If you went for the second
option and played dead, he might still come over and investigate, and you don't want to
risk being trodden on by a two-ton monster. Option C would give you the best chance of surviving a rhino attack. That's right, rhinos have
famously bad eyesight, so hiding behind a tree and
waiting for him to wander off is your best chance at
making it out of there alive. But watch out, rhinos make
up for their bad vision with a strong sense of hearing, so make sure you keep it quiet. In real life, if no tree
or scrub is available, stand still and face the animal. As it approaches, scream and
shout as loud as you can, and it may be enough to scare it off. If all else fails, attempt
to dodge its charge and run in the opposite direction. Number nine, Poison Puzzle. Having survived the stampeding rhino, you're feeling a little bit hungry, so you decide to eat a strange seed pod you found hanging from a bush. Big mistake. It contained a rare poison, and you're starting to feel deathly ill. Thankfully, a local turns up and tells you that certain types of food, and your own problem-solving
skills, will save you. He says things like grapes and pumpkins would save your life, but
bananas and onions wouldn't. All you have in front of you is a tomato, lettuce and cabbage. What do you pick? Think carefully. (projector whirring) (beeping) This is a tricky one. But if we know grapes and
pumpkins counteract the poison, we can guess that's
because they grow on vines, unlike bananas and onions. So logically, we'd better eat the tomato, as that grows on a vine, too. Well, what do you have to lose? Your breakfast, I guess. Number eight, Bolt from the Blue. Okay, so you've survived
the rhino and the poison, what's next? This next challenge proves you don't need to be on an exotic vacation to make life and death choices. Imagine you're stood on
the top of a mountain and a lightning storm rolls in. The last thing you'd want to do is to get fried with a few
million volts of electricity. How are you going to get
yourself out of this one? Here are your options: A, hide under a tree. B, curl up into a ball. Or, C, start running down the mountain. (projector whirring) (beeping) Hm, well, if you answered
hide under a tree, you'd better think again. That's the last thing you want to do. Lightning always strikes
the highest point, so standing near a tree would
just increase your chances of getting burnt to a crisp. Curling up into a ball would
be better than nothing, but the best option is C, as long as the mountain isn't
populated with tall objects. Start heading down the mountain and get yourself away from danger. Number seven, Death Valley. Now imagine you're in a desert. You're all alone with just a few supplies and a bottle of water. It's not enough to last
very long and you need help. What's the smartest way to find help and survive this scenario? A, head off and try and find
water as soon as you can. B, take your clothes off to
cool down and ration your water. Or, C, rest under a nearby tree and wait. (projector whirring) (beeping) Let's go through the answers. If you picked the first option and just walked straight
out into the desert, you'd very likely just get lost and die of thirst in the hot sun. Sorry. And if you took your clothes
off to try and cool down, you'd get a bad case of sunstroke, and then die in the hot sun. No, the best option is
to find a bit of shade and just wait it out. When evening comes and its cooler, you can walk much further
to try and find help. Number six, All You Can Eat. So, from one extreme survival
situation to another, and you're back in the rainforest for my sixth survival riddle. You've been lost in the jungle for days, and you're close to starving. You haven't got much energy left, but you know if you can keep
going another couple of days, you'll make it the nearest town. What's most likely to save your life? A, foraging for mushrooms and
roots from the forest floor. B, looking for fruit. Or, C, hunting one of the giant wild boar that live in this area. (projector whirring) (beeping) Option A sounds like a piece of cake, but you might be forgetting that lots of mushrooms are dangerous and can have unexpected side effects, especially somewhere like the rainforest. Some mushrooms are so deadly, even a couple of bites can kill an adult. So, unless you're an expert, foraging for mushrooms might
be a meal that bites you back. Option C is also off the menu, hunting a wild boar
isn't a safe thing to do in an emergency. Those huge angry pigs could
leave you seriously injured as well as lost and hungry. Your best bet to save your
bacon is go for option B. Fruit is safe to eat and
should keep you going until you find civilization. Now, that's food for thought. Number five, Towering Inferno. We're halfway through our survival riddles and things are really heating up. Your luck's going from bad to worse, as you've somehow found yourself on the 38th floor of a burning building. The building will collapse in a minute, and the room you're in
is filling with smoke. You'd better pick an
escape route, and fast. A, take the stairs and
hope you can make it. B, jump out of the window even though you know it's too high. Or, C, take the elevator, even though there's a sign on it that says do not use in case of fire. (projector whirring) (beeping) Let's see what you've got. If you're on the 38th floor and you try to make it down by the stairs, you'd be in serious trouble. There's no way you'd
make it down in a minute, and you might run right into the blaze and be stuck in an even worse position. As for jumping out the window, well, that's just certain death. In an extreme situation like this, it might be time to break the rules. So, ignore that warning
sign and risk the elevator. Sure, it might not work out, but if you're going to die anyway, maybe it's worth a shot? Number four, Castle Toughchoice. You're trapped in an abandoned castle. The lights are out and nobody's home. Only the wind and the sounds of ghosts whistling through the empty window frames. There are three doors that
lead back out to safety, but each promises to kill
you in a different way. The first door leads to a room full of deadly snakes and spiders. The second door just leads to a sheer drop with spikes at the bottom. The third door opens
to an electrified moat. Which do you choose? (projector whirring) (beeping) You're sure to meet a sticky
end if you pick the first door. You'd make a tasty meal for a giant jumping
spider or boa constrictor. The second door is an obvious no-no. I don't know any survival tips
that would help you survive a long drop onto some metal spikes. The solution to this riddle
is through the third door that leads to the electrified moat. If you listened carefully, you would have noticed that
this is an abandoned castle. The lights are out and nobody
has lived here for years. So the likelihood the moat
is still being electrified is pretty low. So just check the power's gone out, and you can swim across to safety. Number three, Dead in the Water. Don't let the solution to
the last riddle fool you, water is often not your friend. Imagine you are driving home one day when you crash your
car into a river, oops. You have three options to save your life. Do you: A, open the door to escape. B, wind down the window
and let the water in. Or, C, stay in the car and wait for help. (projector whirring) (beeping) Let's start with the last option. Are you crazy? You're trapped in a sinking car, nobody's gonna come in time. You have seconds before you
drown, so you need to act now. As for the first option, if your car is underwater and
you tried to open the door, you'd very quickly
discover it's impossible. The weight of water on the other side would be far too heavy for
a normal human to move. So unless you're Superman, I strongly recommend
you go for option two, roll down the window and let the water in. This might sound stupid, but it'll equalize the
pressure inside the car. When the pressure inside and
outside the car is the same, you'll be able to open the door easily and swim to the surface. Number two, Gamble in the Grasslands. You're back on safari again, and this time, you've gotten lost and are at a crossroads
in the middle of nowhere. Which road do you not want to walk down? You have three options. A path that leads to an
alligator-infested swamp. A dirt road leading to a
river where hippos live. Or an open savanna where
you've heard lions live. Which do you choose? (projector whirring) (beeping) Now, both the first and
last paths sound scary, and they are. I would hate to be stuck in
an alligator-infested swamp or get chased by lions. But according to the facts, the path you really want
to avoid is the second one. That's right, hippos kill
between 2,000 and 3,000 people every year, which is much more than both alligators
and lions put together. Hippos might look slow and stupid, but they're well known as the most dangerous animal in Africa. If you get in a hippo's way, or it thinks you're
threatening its babies, then you're done for. They're big, heavy, aggressive, and they can run much faster than you. There's not much that will stop an angry hippo stampeding towards you. So this isn't a question
of what's the best option, it's a case of avoid that hippo. Number one, Professor Evil's Lair. We're back with our old
friend Professor Evil, this time, in his secret mountain base. He's locked you in a holding cell, where there are only three ways to escape. The first door leads to
his latest secret weapon, a chamber made of mirrors with a laser pointing into it that channels the sun's rays
and fries anything inside. The second door leads to Professor Evil's chemical weapons lab, and entering without a biohazard suit would kill you in seconds. The third door leads straight
to his evil staff room, filled with crazed
henchmen who are so bored, they'll kill you just for fun. Which do you choose? (projector whirring) (beeping) Well, let's check your answers. The third door is definitely a bad idea. Those henchmen will skin
you alive out of boredom, and there's nothing that relives boredom more than horrible violence, if you're an evil henchman, that is. The second door will also kill you. Chemical weapons are
not to be taken lightly, especially when Professor
Evil is involved. There's no biohazard suit around, and I have a feeling the henchmen won't let you borrow one, either. Nope, there's only one way out of here and that's door number one. Yes, it's a laser-powered death chamber, but it's a laser-powered death chamber that's powered by the sun. So all you have to do is
wait until night time, walk through the laser facility and escape out the other side. Good work, you've made it the
