The human body is an incredible machine – it can adapt to scorching heat and freezing temperatures, survive at high altitudes or cope with complete dehydration. But do you know what it can really do? And where do the limits of human endurance lie? You might be surprised at what happens in the body when hypothermia drops below the critical limit, or how much water you can lose before collapse sets in..

We’ve put together a quiz that will take you through extreme situations and show you how the body reacts – scientifically, but also practically. Try it out and see if you would be able to cope in wild conditions. At least in theory.

Don’t forget to share the results with your friends and see if they’re as smart as you are. Maybe you’ll be the one to score full points and prove that you have a great understanding of extreme situations.
