26 Which of the following is NOT a genuine piece of survival advice?

a If you find an animal carcass in the desert, pop out its eyeballs and carry them as an emergency water supply

b You can escape from a charging rhino by running in zigzags -they have a  wide turning circle
c If the food runs out, remember that human hair (boiled  down to soften it)  gives you more  energy than pasta

d Predatory mammals such as cougars and bears associate the sound of lovemaking with preoccupied, and therefore easy, prey

[737700]

a and b are both true. Therefore either c or d is incorrect. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Hi,

I think that the answer is b, have alook half way down the page, as it says that they can spin 180 degrees very quickly.

I tend towards C as the false advice. Hair does not digest well!

[owner2]

A is true.I haven't tried it but it's in the SAS Survival Guide.Any websites I've checked on bear attacks suggest that noise is a deterrant. Human hair contains protein but I can't believe it's got more energy than pasta.so you can rule out A. Not sure about the other 3 yet.
