Polearms suck. Great for keeping something at arm's length, but if that something isn't going to notice or care about anything short of being poked through the eye, all you've got is a pissed off zombie-on-a-stick. A fantastic weapon against pretty much anything that isn't another zombie, which is kind of your problem. Pain in the ass to use in a narrow space, useless for anything but a lucky not-entirely-great head wound, and no good as an actual tool. You'd be better off with a monk's spade, which could at least be used for severing necks or fucking up something's head a bit more.

... I've spent far, far too much time thinking about this.

Why even have a trap door? Just put a pit there. It's not like the zombies are going to be more fooled by the trap door than they would by a big pit in the ground. They're zombies.

A lot of the problem is that the guy isn't specific enough. Shrapnel grenades are useless, sure, but concussion grenades will spread the pack out and give you an alley to escape through. In both instances you're kind of assuming that you somehow managed to find grenades, are far enough away from your target to not hurt yourself, and actually know how the damn things work.

Same thing with the axe/katana/etc. question. I went with baseball bats on the assumption that there isn't much point to cutting zombies in any case (unless you're really the aggressor and not just trying to get the damn thing to go away), but apparently they're not durable enough. I'm not sure if he was assuming that every bat is made of wood or if his particular zombies are tougher than steel.

Unless that trap door dumps zombies into the infinite grey zone outside the walls of a quake level, they will just flood the hole with zombie bodies until it is filled up. It's like the fort in Starship Troopers where the bug bodies make a ramp over the wall. Only without Neil Patrick Harris.

Also your walls do nothing against Kool-aid man zombie.

the trap door leads to a slide which propels them into the street.

from five hundred feet.

You guys can down play a katana's usefulness all you want but all I know is that if the zombiepocalypse really happenned some day and I ran into some of you guys and I didn't have a katana as my primary weapon, you would all laugh at me and never let me live it down.

For the record I would prefer a crowbar as my melee weapon and I would attempt to never have to use it. My M1 Carbine would be my primary weapon, probably with a McGuyvered pop-can silencer.

That's it. I have to do a picture of that.

There's a way to see what the Quiz considers a right and wrong answer?

There's an option at the end of the quiz.

Physical: A
Mental: B
Exp: C
Emotional: F

Which is pretty much what all my ex-girlfriends say about me.

Brentai's test: F, but that's bullshit. Why is saying "What the fuck?" when you get to your car, after you ALREADY KNOW THERE ARE FUCKING ZOMBIES, better than saying it when they first show up?

PS: Katanas are the best weapon. I saw it in Pulp Fiction.

If your trap door is remote activated, then falling asleep could lead to a serious problem, but if it's just a weight triggered, spring loaded contraption, what antics could there really be that are better than just a hole.

shut the door to the room and leave the pit open when asleep

Just build a sentry gun and a dispenser. Unless you're being attacked by some kind of spy-zombie, you should be fine.

Note: The spy zombie is the one wearing an actual engineer face.
