@Ember Okay, thank you!

@Blake Again, nice eye! Somebody does, indeed have to row the boat. So technically, since the boat can only hold five people, one person has to row it. So that means only 4 people would be on the island when the boatman takes off for the trip back to get the other 4 people. By the time he gets back (he would be on the island by now, and the total time now would be 18 minutes, and 8 peole would be on the island) he still has a little more time to get a few more people. Since the trip there and back to the ship takes 9 minutes in total, and maybe if the boatman puts on a little more speed, he can make it back just as the ship is sinking to it's watery grave. But since the life boat can only carry 5 people, including the boatman, and 6 peole are still in danger...

The plot hole? Yes, I know. But remember, this is based off of ''statistics of reality. ''Who's to say they didn't improvise...?

HEY!!! LOOK! THERE'S A PIECE OF WOOD BIG ENOUGH TO HOLD TWO PEOPLE! Who's to say they can't improvise and get some rope of some sort, and tie the peice of wood together, and just tie it to end of the boat? That way, even though there's five (including the guy who's rowing the boat) people on the boat, there would be two more people, sitting on the piece of wood.

What's that? The shark invested waters? No problem. Just as the boatman takes off, who's to say he didn't spot a weapon of sorts, to bash the heads of the sharks? (yeah yeah yeah, I know, doing that to a shak probably isn't the smartest idea, but hey, it'll work)
