You have to be alone on a remote island full of jungle. You only have with you the clothes you are wearing. You also know only what you know now, no research. 32 different items that you can take with you have been prepared. However, you have to lose a finger (clean, professional, safe amputation; healed completely when u go on the island, bleeding and infection are no special concern) for each item you take with you.

It may be tempting to deal immediately with the items, but it makes more sense to look at the fingers first, as they determine how many items you can carry.

.

Three important questions need to be answered:

How many fingers do you have?

-I would assume 10.

How many fingers do you need to have the same efficiency as with all fingers?

-I think you can do without the ring fingers, so 8.

How many fingers do you need to perform the simplest tasks?

-I would say with less than 3 you can't survive at all, so 3.

.

This means that you should take between 2 and 7 items with you.
