10/17, but some of those questions are kind of misleading. Like gouging the sharks eyes... pretty easy when he's ALREADY BITTEN YOUR ARM

Pretty bad for being a former boyscout! Lol. Some of the attacking animal questions were difficult... but in an actual situation like that, there are countless options that your brain will consider before you decide on the "best" action.

I got an 11; however, some of those questions were just dead wrong.

Stare down a shark? How the hell do you stare down a shark?

The dog attack? That's just a recipie to wind up with some pretty serious injuries. If the dog has ahold of your arm, a sharp jab with the finger to the eye or a direct punch to the front of the neck will shake the dog off real quick. A dog that is trained to attack will keep attacking until it's sure that you are no longer a threat. That means that the dog will keep chewing on you for some time. Most attacks can be shaken off with sheer dominance, making the survival instinct of the dog kick into overtime.

The whole deal about the life jackets? I'll let you in on a secret. Want to know why the life jackets are bright yellow? Makes it easier for the recovery team to find the plane and your body. Yeah, that one time out of 100, you'll actually make good use of it. However, the other 99 times you're hitting the water like a 125-ton dart that usually disinegrates the body of the plane.

I got an 8 out of 17, yeah it is late.

That shark one got me because I thought you should punch its snout so it would fear you. I thought I saw it being done somewhere...

The desert one got me too. I never knew people died with water in their canteens. I would have rationalized the water, but I guess that is the wrong thing to do..

10 of 17 for me.

Some how staring a 18' great white in the eye is going to be hard when his mouth may be open
a few feet wide.

Didnt even bother finishing, crappily written test. The shark question said attacked, nothing about being in its mouth. As for a dog attack, let it clamp down on your forearm if you can, then bash its skull into the ground. Yeah your armll get chewed up, but it keeps its mouth full of something thats not your neck.

EDIT:Assuming its a large enough dog to be a real danger. Chiuaha through terrier size are puntable.

I got 10/17, but every question was missing a very important answer: "Pull out your glock and shoot the mo-fo!"

Attacked by a shark? Pull out your glock and shoot the mofo!

Bank robber? Pull out your glock and shoot the mofo!

Stranded in the desert? Pull out your glock and shoot the mofo!

And dogs noses are incredibly sensitive, so try to kick it in the nose

Snake bites, if they get your arm or finger, try to ram your finger further into the mouth, snakes teeth arnt designed ofr that, so they will open there mouths to try and get a better grip

It didn't say that you were in the shark's mouth in the question. Dumb test.
