The first time I ran into this simulation they gave you a bunch of extra information about the individuals. One had young children at home, one was a drug addict, etc. The point was to distract you from the fact that there was a win-win solution for everyone and focus on who had to lose (in this case die).

When I read the simulation, I had though of a solution that hinged more on morality/ethics than on actual logic. I did send the old man up the ladder last, not because then he wouldn't drown, but because he had the least to lose if he had drowned given that he's lived his life already. In that sense, another tip may be to remember to prioritize your tasks based on importance as well. Thanks for the advice on how to order your tasks to be more productive.
