However, I accept the challenge you yourself proposed: You
now have 15
minutes to come up with a better idea.


'Breather tubes' in all eight corners.
However, they must be designed to not let rain water in. And
the reefer units would need some kind of insulation in them.

As has already been pointed out by others, shipping containers are not
airtight or watertight, and fail to sink only because of the buoyancy (if
any) of their contents. "Breather Tubes" to let more air out, or more water
in, will not solve the essential problem. Clock's still ticking.

My idea was not "always
loaded containers." It was to always load them

Well, I gave you half an hour and you've still not come up with a better
idea. Guess you lose, eh? :-D

Scotty was having a battle of wits with a witless twit. How can he possibly
lose? You were un-armed.

I would like topoint out that the boxes are not watertight. If the
stuff in the container is dense, it will sink. If it is filled with a
lot of foam packing, It won't sink.

And yet he still lost. Hard to believe, innit?

Yes, this has been pointed out. Which is why I proposed requiring ballast
(or otherwise adjusting the buoyancy) so the container would sink if the
cargo would otherwise prohibit sinking.

How about a game show like Hollywood Squares, but with kids? Gary
Coleman could host.

I've been waiting to use that line.
