0 and you know why.

I’d see dumping over the ocean for 20 minutes single engine (although probably not what the QRH says in a 777 so hands are probably tied there) or just returning and doing the overweight landing (which I HAVE done) and just writing it up for the inspection, after all they are likely going to be changing an engine anyway... the plane isn’t going anywhere.
