1. Sink the putt. I can do it all day at putt putt
8. I do a little hesi on the run up and fake the guy out with my eyes
6. Do I get to chest pass?
3. Used to love practicing field goals. I used to make 35 yarders on Chalmette’s field
7. I’m not consistent enough to count on a spare. I’m liable to either make a strike or a bad gutter ball. I throw it hard and straight and hope for the best
4. Do I get all three strikes?
2. Do I have to call bank? (I think percentages would improve if players didn’t feel shame in using the margin of error a bank shot would give them)
5. I’m screwed if it comes to tennis

One of these two, although I would likely pick tennis.

Chest pass or real throw?


Either way, this and the penalty kick are significantly easier than the other choices.

I would amaze the cartel with my ambidextrous abilities of wadding up a post-it and scoring it into the trash can.

How is this not the most popular answer?

Make contact with b-ball

My putt will come up short so eliminate that….

2nd choice would be free throw.

Here is my confidence level in each without my life on the line. I guess I would need to subtract some % with my life on the line. But that number is likely the same for all tasks.

1. Sink a straight flat 4 foot putt 75%
2. Make a free throw. 70%
3. Make a 20 yard field goal off a tee. 90%
4. Make contact with a belt high over the middle 80 mph fastball from a machine (no bunt). 15%
5. Get in a first serve in tennis (overhand). 50%
6. Get two chances to make one in the Dr. Pepper football can challenge thing. 95%
7. Get a spare in bowling. 30%
8. Penalty kick against a cartel member that doesn’t play soccer. 60%

Baseball. 100% confident I could do it.

Can I do the chest pass for the Dr. Pepper challenge or is that against the rules?

I've never hit a baseball in my life. Getting no warmup and having to make contact on a single 80mph pitch would have a cartel bullet in my head.

Of those, I could for sure survive the Dr. Pepper one and probably the tennis serve or penalty kick. The rest start to get iffy.

Would the cartel accept me doing some kind of running challenge? What would the equivalent be?

Free throw is about the only shot I would have to not get beheaded.

I don't want to say easy, but I'd bet my own life on either of these. Grew up playing soccer and was a high-level junior tennis player.
