EQUALITY

It's a good thing, right? Equal rights for women and minorities... equal this, equal that... well,:

Suppose you are trapped on a boat with no water other than what you have on board, and there is no opportunity for a while to gather more water (either from the land or from rain.) There are 25 on board. You have 25 empty equal-sized Nalgene bottle, plus large jugs that the water was stored it. It is not feasible to gather water, individually, on a needs basis from these jugs. Once they are opened, the water cannot be saved, it must be either drunk or put in the Nalgene bottles. You know, for sure, what each fellow traveler's needs are when it comes to water. That means you know how much that person needs to survive until more water is attainable. There is enough water in the jugs to fill the Nalgene bottles halfway. Be aware of the morale repercussions that will ensue based on how you fill these bottles. (See poll.) You cannot add circumstances beyond what I've outlined.
