A handful of stats students at the University of Ottawa decided to make aworking mathematical model for zombi irruption , and possible ways of thwarting the blast . What did they learn ? We ’re make out . Kind of .

First , some background . They free-base their methodology around three groups : zombie , those susceptible to zombi attempt , and those who are untouched ( dead zombi spirit ) . They based their fashion model around zombies who taint humans with saliva via bite , and take the air in slow , maverick tread . They also allowed a 24 hr brooding catamenia from the moment of contagion to discharge zombification .
What did they learn ? Well if left unaddressed , a zombie attack on a sizable city would pass over out the universe in a matter of 4 - 8 hours . If you examine to quarantine the zombies , it would basically have no effect on the resultant because the zombie would needs escape , or infect the humans attempting to quarantine zombi . And if you endeavor to generate a zombie counterpoison , you ’d still recede a lot of people in the process of creating the antidote , and it would n’t turn back the zombi back to a dead state , which means they could peradventure infect people in other areas .
The estimable solution ? The only hope of pass over out a possible zombie invasion is to attack the undead in focussed , strategic attacks that increasingly increase in intensity . This will help address the growing number of undead in the process . But even then it would bear witness difficult to emerge victorious , as it would take 10 solar day worth of heavy fight to quell the outbreak .
But luckily , you do n’t have to worry about any of this because some sap mathematically proved it would be impossible forzombies to exist(along with lamia ) . Something about how they would feast themselves into obliviousness . [ University of Ottawa ( PDF)viaio9 ]
