You know those word puzzles where you've got three people on the side of a river, and you need to get them all across

Sounds acceptable to me!

I remember doing something like this for a psychology class. We were given a list of people who were trapped in a nuclear fallout shelter. There were thirteen people in the shelter, and only enough supplies for twelve. We were supposed to decide who to let die.

I worked it so all thirteen survived. For some reason I got a bad grade on the assignment.

....but I saved a life! I SAVED A LIFE, MAN!

Right. But you didn't save the millions upon millions of lives lost in the war by using Time Travel.

I took it you read the newest XKCD comic? :P

I did, but I'd thought of this before. It just sorta brought it back up to the forefront of stuff I cycle through thinking about.
