| Sep 28, 2015 at 13:29 | comment | added | Hagen von Eitzen | Instead of same/simlar DNA the question of similar proteins etc. might be more interesting. While co-adapted optical signs may not be useful (such as red fruit clearly visible within green leaves as "eat-me and spread my kids" signal - which may still be poisonuous), bitter taste as warning signal may work ... | |
| Sep 28, 2015 at 13:20 | comment | added | Ditto | My first thought was "cannibilism" ... O.o but I'm sure that's against the rules there somewhere ... facepalm | |
| Sep 28, 2015 at 12:21 | comment | added | user3652621 | @RadovanGarabík, If we're talking eating the food of your defunct teammates, 30 people's 60-day supplies will just about sustain a group of 5 for 53 weeks. The problem lies with the fact that other groups that might find food could outnumber you at the end of the contest and win anyway. | |

| Sep 27, 2015 at 16:48 | comment | added | Bob Jarvis - Слава Україні | @RadovanGarabik - oh, yeah - you could eat their food rations too! :-> | |

| Sep 27, 2015 at 9:36 | comment | added | Radovan Garabík | @CalebBernard If you are willing to accept sacrifice of an individual for the benefit of the team, then kill everyone in your team, gather their food rations and wait. Unless other teams do the same, you have a fair chance of winning. Requires somewhat psychopathical attitude, though. | |
| Sep 27, 2015 at 3:02 | comment | added | Caleb | My answer doesn't technically answer the bolded question, so I'm putting it as a comment, but I think it could easily be a winning strategy: starve out the other teams. Have your team hunker down in a cave or whatever you can find and stretch out those rations as long as possible, then just go hungry and surrender right before you die. There's a very strong chance the other teams will either all die from poison, or get too freaked out by watching their team members die from poison to continue. Also, I'm not sure I'd want to risk my life to own part of a death planet anyway ;) | |
