NEXT QUESTION BELOW

It’s a sunny day in Boston and you’re walking along the Freedom Trail when you see a man lying on the ground. It looks like his jaw has rotted away but he’s managed to make some weird sounds. What do you do?

Ready? Scroll down to answer

I’d ask if he needs help, but he has no jaw to talk. I’ll call an ambulance.
Walk along. I still have to see Quincy Market!
Check the news to see if there are any jaw-rotting viruses going on. Am I safe?

You look at your phone to check social media and there are reports of people in New York City with more body-rotting symptoms. It doesn’t look like anyone else in Boston has been infected yet. What do you plan to do?

Ready? Scroll down to answer

Head to South Station to take the next train to New York. I have to save these people!
Walk to North Station and take a train to Maine. I’ll be safe from this weird disease there.
Go have a drink near Fenway. The Red Sox are playing today!

Just as you’re about to move on from the Jawless Man, the ambulance arrives. As a thank you, the EMT offers to bring you to lunch. Where do you tell him to go?

Ready? Scroll down to answer

Boloco on Federal Street. They never had an E. coli problem.
As I said, I haven’t been to Quincy Market yet. I heard they have lots of food.
The food trucks near South Station. I’m not sure if I want tacos or Vietnamese street food.
I’m not hungry, but I’ll have him drop me off at Whole Foods. I can stock up on nuts.

During the ride over, you ask the EMT what’s going on. He tells you there’s a flesh-eating bacteria that turns its victims into zombies and there’s no known cure. You obviously have tons of questions. What’s the first thing you ask?

Ready? Scroll down to answer

“What’s going to happen to Jawless Man? Are you going to kill him?”
“How does the bacteria spread?”
“Alas — it seems the apocalypse is here. Do you want to be my survival buddy? I’m single.”
“Am I going to die?!”
“Actually, can you take me to Massachusetts Institute of Technology instead? I want to see if they’re developing a cure.”

Before the EMT can answer your question, the Jawless Man wakes up and attacks! How do you defend yourself?

Grab the nearest blunt object and whack him over the head.
Shout at the driver to stop the vehicle and head toward the door.
Go through the medical kit on the ambulance and throw whatever chemicals you find at him.
