Shipwreck
The 2nd Quest in Physical: Asia is Shipwreck. The mechanics of the game are that the team has to transfer over 6 tons of cargo from the wreck site to their base's cargo within 20 minutes. The cargo consists of crates weighing 50 kgs each and sandbags weighing 20 kgs. each. The team that would be able to transfer the largest cargo would be declared the winner.
I am not sure if there are more rounds in this quest. I completed watching the first round. The Turkey team had the privilege of choosing their opponent in this game because of winning the Territory Conquest. Below is the outcome of the first round:
| Competing Countries | Cargo Transferred | Winner |
|---|---|---|
| Japan versus Australia | Japan - 1,820 kg; Australia - 2,100 kg | Australia |
| Philippines versus Mongolia | Philippines - 1,290 kg; Mongolia - 2,000 kg | Mongolia |
| South Korea versus Thailand | South Korea - 2,120 kg; Thailand - 1,380 kg | South Korea |
| Turkey versus Indonesia | Turkey - 1,990 kg; Indonesia - 1,480 kg | Turkey |
The most strategic team is South Korea, with the highest cargo transferred at 2,120 kg. Even though they don't lift heavier cargo, their movement is consistent. Unlike Thailand, which displayed unusual strength at the beginning but got exhausted in the end.
The weakest team is the Philippines, which transferred 1,290 kg. One member got tired, took a rest, and sat down while other members of the team kept moving. Manny Pacquiao was strong. He can lift three sandbags and carry another one with his left hand. However, despite his exertion, there was no way they could defeat Mongolia. The difference is so huge.
