A mental riddle about burning ships
Imagine you are on a ship. It's been set alight; an oil canister has exploded and set the ship alight. You can't jump through the flames: you'll burn to death. You can't dive into the water: it is full of hungry sharks that will gobble you up in one go. How do you escape ALIVE?
Do you... 1. Hide in a fireproof container 2. Take the helm and steer the ship to safety 3. Stop imagining 4. Pray to God that you live through the burning heat of the flames????

You can stop imagining, as it says at the top of the riddle that you are IMAGINING this incident.
