re: You’ve been kidnapped by the cartel. Life or death you have to accomplish one sports task

It says “first serve” right in the rule for tennis. That means something for tennis terms.
Yea. It means the first of two allotted service attempts. Zero to do with speed, spin, placement, etc. The cartel should get better lawyers to write up their hunger games bylaws.

One change to make a tennis serve
Make a first serve
Those are wildly different statements to me, and I think the cartel could kill you fairly if you doink in a serve here.
The OP could easily clear this up by telling us what his friend Jose would do

That's why I'm going with the Dr Pepper challenge. I realize the cartel will probably kill me for choosing the easiest one. But a true first serve I have maybe 30% chance of living, and as you pointed out even PGA players would have a 10% chance of dying on the 4 ft putt (granted, they aren't always flat putts).
But chest passing a football through a pretty decently sized hole in two attempts? I've seent girls who look like the LSU pizza girl make several in a row.

this, I've got a friend who is the best natural athlete I've ever seen that can roll out of bed doing stuff like this, it's crazy how athletic he is and he's always been that way, in any sport, many posters on here have mentioned him on here before(he signed with LSU to play football back in the 70s)

I'd have an okay chance at not dying with any of those, but for me, it's:
PK
Free throw
FG
First serve
Dr. Pepper
Spare (assuming that means two throws to knock down 10 pins)
Putt
Baseball

Do I get to pick the cartel member?
Yeah because I like my chances against Pablo Escobar. Unless he gets to use his head stone.

80mph fastball (or as it would really be known as, a "straight ball") is not a problem to at least foul off.

If given a practice swing, I'd easily put fastball over the putt. Got in the cage recently when my son was practicing and after one pitch to get timing down, I have no problems making contact at those speeds. Good hits are another story.

What makes you think that?

The rule says “first serve” The best players on the planet only make 60% of their first serves. If you barely hit it in the cartel is going to kill you for cheating The easy pick is the 80 mph fastball from a machine
pure insanity. The DP football toss with 2 attempts is by miles easier than anything else on the list.

It's simple math. With the DP challenge I get two attempts. I give myself at least a 50% of making one. That means I have a 75% survival rate (50% to make the first one, then 50% of making the second one). I don't give myself anywhere near a 75% chance on any of the others if I don't get to warm up.

All I am saying is that I am 99% sure I can foul one off.

The DP toss is the only one that gives you more than one attempt (making it the easiest) and the baseball hit is the only one that has a reaction time component (making it the hardest).
