GORILLA TREK, or the maths of planning

We are now at 28 days to go and counting.

The final preparation is becoming a maths exam, and really, numbers just give me a headache.
I always loathed "story sums" but am forced to do them now.

 QUESTION 1.
A YELLOW FEVER shot is compulsory.
You get a chest infection that results in a course of cortisone.
You have to have been off cortisone for 10 days before you can have the yellow fever injection.
Using today's date, the date of departure, where you are in your cortisone treatment course and the availability of appointments on a Saturday at the travel clinic, calculate as a percentage your level of stress

QUESTION 2.
PACKING is vital to an enjoyable trip. As a blogger you need a lot of additional electronic, digital, photographic and power supply equipment.
Airline regulations dictate your luggage may not exceed  23kg.
Locker space on the Nomad truck varies between 20 & 38cm in width and 80cm in depth.
Calculate the cubic volume of your bag and list what clothes, if any, you will be taking with you.

QUESTION 3.
COMFORT is important and a good nights sleep is vital to your enjoyment on tour.
Your present body weight is x.
The mattress you will use in your tent in 5cm thick. The terrain is grass or sand and maybe some rock.
Calculate the size in cm of the bruise on your hip after 3, 7 and 14 days

QUESTION 4.
VISAS
If you do not have a Visa you will be thrown off the truck at the Ugandan Border, and this could be lonely and disappointing for you.
Your Visa Ninja returns from holiday on January 6th. The forms and supporting documents take 2 days to complete. The Ugandan Consulate has just requested proof of employment letters. The approval process can take between 3 and 5 working days. The documents must be flown back to Cape Town. The probability of the plane they are on crashing into the sea is 1: 463 000. Solve for x, x being the number of heart attacks you will have before you have the Visa in your hand.

QUESTION 5.
VIDEO You have a GoPro and it has a battery life of about 4 hours. You have access to charging facilities when the truck is not in transit. The SD card has 64 gigs of space. Calculate how many hours of filming (specify ALL camera settings) you can do before you must download and clear the SD card. Calculate how often, and where, you will charge the battery for the GoPro.

I think I will just wing it and what does not work out will become a great story.
