Re: Chinese intl student here, I'm confused

[(Anonymous)]

Here's how I'd go about it:

(1) You have to pick the pregnant girl because you know she's fertile
(2) Then you have to pick the doctor so she can make sure the babies survive.

Now, someone's got to give that girl more babies. The physician will hate black babies, so the black dude's out. We don't know how old the architect is, but it probably doesn't matter. He has a useful skill and if he can't manage to have sex with the girl, maybe the doctor can use him as a sperm donor.

(3) So we pick the architect.

No one else has particularly useful skills. The former prostitute may be able to have more babies.

(4) So we pick the prostitute. She can also have some architect babies.

The law students may not have rebuild-the-human-race skills, but they're at least likely to be smart and can also have kids. The wifey may be a bit unstable, but you have to take the pair. Male law student also may come in handy in case the architect can't get the other women pregnant.

(5) Male law student
(6) Female law student

Mine was similar to yours. I picked the young black guy over the architect but was otherwise the same. My logic:

1. Teenager + baby = already we have one baby, plus like you said she's fertile, AND she's young so she can have lots more babies
2. Doctor because she was one of only three women in the group and you have to maximize female fertility in order to maximize the overall fertility of a group - I didn't even think of your reasoning but I should have, though I did think her intelligence would be a plus in general.
3. Prostitute because again, another uterus. In hindsight, though, maybe I should have swapped her out for someone (probably the architect, like you, since he has a useful skill and is probably also smart) because at 39 she's not going to have very many more babies. Again though - female fertility...but having another male who can father more children than she can bear might do more to maximize genetic variety in this case, not sure. So I guess those two are a tossup. I left him out initially because homosexuality = not likely to have kids, but you and Chard made good points about him being a sperm donor, and honestly, he could even be a conventional father if he wanted to. (In hindsight, I thought there were only three women but I guess there are four, so that leans me more towards your choice, actually)
4. Young black guy because he's young and fertile and probably horny. Presumably if they're all fighting for survival he won't be so stupid as to try to hurt others. (I don't trust the policeman this far because he's acted out violently before. Simply saying someone is "militant" isn't as big of an indicator to me. Plus he's young and the power dynamic would be different; the cop would be a greater threat to stability.) I'm sure the doctor, assuming she is racist towards black people (I think that's supposed to be implied), can get over herself with the survival of the human race at stake. Ideally all possible partners would pair up at some point but if she can't bring herself to he's still got two other potential partners. (I can see him hooking up with the teen; they're close in age, both young and both probably horny and fertile.)
5. and 6. the lawyer couple - again young and fertile *and* probably already having sex so that makes it easier. We don't know why she's been sedated/mentally ill but we hope it's not something genetic since a post-apocalyptic situation isn't good for that sort of thing, but a young available uterus is too good to pass up, and a young available pair of balls doesn't hurt either.

one last thought - I could also see using the violinist over the architect just in terms of reproductive potential, though you are right that the architect has more useful skills for survival
