[Doriana] The only way is up (OAATP)

100 people enjoy an exquisite three-course meal. Hours later, 50 of them throw up. What happened?
FSEI. OAATP rules apply.

Is the exact number of 50 relevant?

Is there a randomized trial?

Does someone want them to throw up?

[JenBurdoo1]

Do they throw up what they ate, or something else?

[WiZ]

Does something in the food cause them to throw up, or is there an additional factor (such as the restaurant being on a ship and people getting seasick)?

Skipping some questions because WiZ is spot on - that was fast even by OAATP standards!

********SPOILER********
100 people have dinner on a cruise ship. Later that night, the ship travels through a storm, causing many of the passengers to get seasick and throw up.

That was a good puzzle. Looking back, I think shoehorning a hypothetical into that question was a bit cheeky. Sorry.
