Upated Report on Chimp Survival in the Mauna Loa Caldera

The hypothesis was put forward that perhaps our chimpanzees could utilize heat resistant suits to aid them as a stepping stone during the breeding process with the eventual goal of successful colonization with out the need for the aid. This was not considered a cheat of the system since we already intend them to use scientific equipment and this could just be seen as an extension of that concept. Unfortunately the results were similar. In the initial experiment the chimpanzees expired almost immediately on contact with the surface lava, bursting into flames and ceasing to move very rapidly. With the addition of the suits movement was still visible up to the point where they sank to the bottom. Since none of the chimps made it to the edge of the caldera it has been assumed all of them expired and this is the data in the table below. Some researchers contend that this is inconclusive as we did not witness the demise of the test subjects. Further research is needed.
