Not to mention the fact that it takes three persons to input their portion of the launch codes in proper order and simultaneously turn the key. The three consoles are also located in such a manner that it's not possible for one or two persons to perform these actions. They have their stuff well figured out...
As for the test:
Well done! Your chances of surviving a zombie apocalypse are better than average! Don't get too cocky, though. Remember, the undead never sleep...
What I learnt from said test: I'm a jerk who'll ignore bad things happening to others, I know far too much about medication for my own good, I'll give up supplies if threatened (I know enough about combat to know when to flee), that I'll avoid people like a plague, and that yes, I have shot a lot of firearms in my life.
I hope lots of the silly answers, like "chainsaws" and "going Rambo" would make the score plummet big.

If their that slow I'll pour some very acidic chemicals that burn or dissolve flesh into a bug-sprayer. I could spray them & then sprint a few yards & turn back & watch it work.

Doubt you'd need to defend yourself from six in close quarters, but even so, you can easily backpedal and reload fairly quickly; speedloaders really help here. This is for double-action revolvers with swing-out cylinders. Single-action revolvers where you have to load one round at a time would be a bother (but then, you still could make do with such).
Fast zombies are actually a threat that couldn't be contained. I tend to see such as moot in these things and just assume that any outbreak will be Romero zombies (the original). It's very hard to get head shots on fast moving targets; it takes competitive level shooting/greater than common military grunt-level skill, which most people don't have.

Sorry you're all ready dead most sprayers cant take even mild acids with out failing in about four sprays as for flammable fuels like gas is a no go too.
I would like to play it like a game you say what your going to do then some one elts gives you the results of your actions! Live die other problems.

I'd prefer my dinner un-soaked.
Technically, it'd be "animated corpse" in the sense that poor motor ability and an intense hunger to spread the infection are all that remains of the person. The individual is still very much "alive", but in a heavily mutated form.
A nifty pathogen in that it keeps the host "alive" (hence, itself alive) with the potential to infect multitudes.

Wouldn't eating a zombie infect you too? How about I use one of those hooked-sword things to cut their heads off; it's like a sword but with a sickle instead of a point; I don't know the term. My ideal close weapon would be a lightsaber if they would be invented then.

If there would be a virus that would affect living instead of corpses that involved poor motor ability & the only part of their mind they had left was an intense hunger to spread infection with no real other thoughts or individuality or anything; Could they be considered zombies?

As to the super soaker I know they can spay alcohol but never tried gas or acid I'm guessing it would be the same as the garden sprayer.

Are you cooking them long enough, are they fresh?

This or this or one of them?

You typed "suppersoaker" and supper can be called dinner, hence the comment about not wanting my dinner soaked. I would never eat a diseased undead corpse.

Probably the best improvised weapon would be a trident, perhaps made from a pitchfork (as long as a lance though; replace the pole with something longer). You don't want them coming anywhere near you (within a meter), and the trident would keep them away but also keep the pathogen away from your body (just don't go licking or touching the spikes).
Would only be good against one zombie though, but if you filtered them into a narrow hallway..., you could hold them off. You wouldn't kill any, but that doesn't matter, as you just need a "keep away stick".
If you lack a firearm, best to avoid (well, best to avoid no matter what) and set traps where you live (anything that works against the zombies' pathetic mobility).
