I am trying to understand why Andrew and kontiki are the only two with
the correct answer.

Because Mr. Huck and Mr. birdog haven't had their moment yet. There are
reasons for fuel exhaustion beyond a pilot's control. They should feel lucky
that they can continue with their arrogant self-righteousness. Fly long
enough and s**t happens.
