Urgent Odd Problem — McKinsey Solve

Currently backpacking in the wilderness and have spotty data connection, no wifi anywhere, and certainly no access to comfortable indoor quiet spaces.

McKinsey sent me a timeline last Friday to complete their solve assessment by today, and after several emails and hearing nothing back from anyone, I am left with the tough decision of trying to do it using someone’s hotspot on my computer in a tent, which will certainly be risky in terms of both internet and performance, or just not doing it and praying they grant me an extension (I only need a few more days).

Thoughts on what to do?
