It looks like Im lasting 36 days, 16 hours, 55 minutes.

These questions are good things to know for survival. Most will not even last 6 hours.

That's longer than I suspected for you.

The burn one I hit the wrong answer, even though, when my daughter was actually burned once, I did the right thing. So my instinctive brain is spot on, but my thinking brain gets confused? And they scored me a wrong answer on the running jump one, but I have done enough running jumps in my life to know darn well I'd be lucky to jump 5 feet, let alone ten. I also keep getting thrown by the fire ones -- giving the cooking/heating answer when they're talking a smudge fire, giving the answer if you've got a match when they're talking without a match. *sigh*

Some of these are also judgement calls rather than one answer or another. If help is coming, then you generally don't want to use a tourniquet because of the risk of long term issues. If you have good reason to think help isn't going to come in time, best to keep the person alive even if it means they might lose the limb later. But maybe they took that into account and I missed it -- got to skimming because second son was hovering over me wanting to do his "after lunch" schoolwork. Got up late today, and I'm still not on schedule. (Looks at the clock.) Matter of fact, neither is he.

My score was 17 days 22 hours 10 minutes.

Let's just say I'm going to keep the zombies busy while you guys make your escape.

There were 3 that I missed. The one about how much blood you can loose was the one that I remember that I got wrongo. How to get blood off your clothing threw me. I thought hot water but its cold water to remove blood. The water question came a bit under what I thought. I would think the extra quart would be a good thing.

Hot water sets the stain with most proteins. This is one (along with how fast a plane catches on fire and some others) that I thought kind of pointless. I suppose if you're dealing with zombies it matters how well you can clean blood out of your clothes, but OTOH in a society that's been taken over by zombies it'd probably be just as easy to pick up different clothes. Pretty sure zombies don't bother changing their clothes ever, and if zombies smelling the blood on your clothes are a risk, that means there are probably plenty of empty houses full of clothes to raid. You're going to want to reconnoiter anyhow; might as well pick up a new wardrobe while you're at it.
