The Problem
Within a few months, a life-endangering meteor will plummet into Earth's atmosphere, causing extreme earthquakes, dust that will block out the sun, and toxic fumes that will be released into the air soon after the strike. Although the Federal Government of the United States has been able to secure a deep underground cave within the middle of the continent, only a small number of all Americans will be eligible to gain access to the safety provided. Those remaining out in the open will face great peril and danger in months to come, as life's basic necessities will run out, leading us into a new Ice Age, much like millions of years prior.

The Solution

 * To qualify safety and allowance to get into the cave, only a few stages of tests will be administered.
 * Everyone will take an IQ test to determine those with the higher intellect, to keep the new society functioning at its very best and to keep the re-building process as rapid as possible.
 * There will be doing a genome test given to the to ensure the health of the new society and the human race, because there will not be the supplies capable to keep the sick and disabled alive and healthy, even if this person happens to be a valuable component to the new life.
 * A fertility test will be given to the females eligible after the first two tests, to ensure reproduction will the quicker and easier, given the small amount of resources we can keep intact and manageable.
 * A certain percentage of the tests will show who we will take, then by equal percentages each section of every race will be saved. [[image:Final-destination-handout-2010-2011.jpg width="560" height="806" align="right" caption="Team Final Destination Handout"]]
 * We will be looking at the society in a "color blind" sense- no percentages of certain races will be taken. Because America is currently so diverse, there will be no problem getting roughly equal percentages of the population for the cave.
 * We will be attempting to save a pair of as many animals that can fit into the cave, after the human percentages.

WHO WILL LIVE??

 * 60% Women 40% men, simply to re-populate.
 * Skilled and educated people:

-116,000 Medical (Doctors, Nurses, Midwifes, Etc.) + up to 4 immediate family members

-86,000 Scientists (Biological, Physical, Meteorologists, Zoologists, etc.)

-56,000 Engineers + up to 4 immediate family members

-61,000 Architects + up to 4 immediate family members

-117,000 Educators (Teachers, Professors, Historians, Etc) + up to 4 immediate family members

-161,000 Law Enforcement + up to 4 immediate family members

-70,000 Agricultural Workers + up to 4 immediate family members

-60,000 Contractors/Builders + up to 4 immediate family members

-40,000 Law Professionals + up to 4 immediate family members

-37,000 Politicians/Governmental Officials + up to 4 immediate family members

-67,000 General (Therapists, Electricians, Etc) + up to 4 immediate family members

-57,000 Artists (Painters, Musicians, Classic Literature Experts, Poets, Sculptors, Etc) + up to 4 immediate family members

-66,000 Craftsmen (Weavers, Seamstress’, Etc) + up to 4 immediate family members

Explain Why This is the Best Solution Possible
Sadly, there can be no fair solution. All we can hope for and what we plan for is to build a new society that may grow in numbers in the most efficient way possible. Race is not taken into effect, in order to diversify the new land with mixed races. Our plan is to maintain the new society with those willing to help, with education and skills that can bring about a prosperous existance.

Explain Why it is a Fair Solution
Although it is not perfectly fair, each citizen that wants to apply for the IQ test may, and those that also pass the genome test and the fertility test have a high chance of safety.

Copy of Speech President Should Give to Nation
media type="file" key="final-destination.flv" width="720" height="540" align="center"

My fellow women, men and children of this great nation.

Today is a day that I have been resenting for months. Today is a day where I shall provide the country with devastation, hope, happiness and anger. Today is a day that we shall all remember.

A few months ago, scientists in NASA discovered a meteor heading towards Earth. Despite world efforts to deter the collision path, it is inevitable- the earth will be struck by the meteorite in exactly 30 days. After impact, the world will no longer be what it is today. The ground will burn, the sky will be dark and all life will slowly die out.

We have done our best to create a safe haven to ensure the future of this great nation. In the limestone mountains of Missouri, we have established deep caves where one million beings may be able to inhabit for the next two years of travesty that will occur to our Mother Earth. For eligibility, citizens must take an IQ test, genetics test and fertility test in order to qualify for the quotas of professions needed to start a new society. Once you have been selected, you may bring up to four immediate family members with you to the caves.

Not everyone can be saved. I am sorry America, I am sorry for all the things we will endure during these last days. This is a time where we must love the people in our lives, forgive those who have hurt us, forget those who resent us and remember the one who brought us here.

May God be with you. Good night.
