No water for washing – What to do?

You have the following options available:

  1. Search your house for a bottle of water, or any water that may happen to be in an item which did not have work done to it.
  2. If there is water available within 18 minutes of travel, whether from a faucet or through purchasing a bottle of water in a store, then you must travel there to get water to wash for the bread.
  3. If no water is available, and it will not for certain be available for a distance of 18 minutes, then one may wrap their hands in a cloth and eat the bread, although is not to rely on eating the bread while in a bag.
