There's been a report of a zombie outbreak on the north side of the city and your unit of 600 men has been sent in to set
up a containment zone while others attempt to neutralize the problem. So far the outbreak is limited to a single city
block and your containment zone will consist of one block buffer zone on all sides of the affected area. This means you
will have to seal off a square consisting of a total of nine city blocks, each of which is 50 yards long and 50 yards wide.
To make sure your defenses hold, know that you need at least two soldiers for every three yards of your perimeter. You
have two choices: set up the containment zone now or wait for reinforcements. If you try to set up the containment zone
and you don't have enough men to man it properly, you risk being over-run and the zombies will take over the city.
However, any unnecessary delay while you wait for reinforcements will give the zombie disease time to spread, making it
harder to contain. You're the one in charge and need to make a decision right now: do you have enough men to set an
effective containment zone or should you wait for reinforcements? You have 5 seconds...
A. Yes, I have more than enough men and the best action is to set up the containment zone right away.
B.
I don't have enough men under my command. It will give the zombie disease time to spread but I need to wait
until reinforcements arrive before I can set up an effective containment zone
