I've wondered the answer to this question all my life.

Now I am ready.

My score was 26, which was a surprise given some of my wimpy answers. Maybe because I thought it wasn't fair that the quiz gave no credit for experience with non-human primates, so I said "yes" to whether I could kick the head off a fast moving baboon. I figured that was the only question that came close.

35, somehow?

Probably because, though I've never been in a physical fight, I imagine I would, in fact, punch better with the smell of blood in the air.

this is like that discussion-inducing question: how many 5 year olds could you take?  literally, as in a fist fight..... its strange and complicated because of how we esteem children in society.  but at the same time, interesting to look at the situation without that aspect.

Apparently I could take 38 baboons in a fight.  The quizz failed to ask me an important question though - Have you ever been to the Enchanted Monkey Forrest?  Yes.  Yes I have.  I understand that macaques and baboons are not the same, but I did help out a friend when one of the macaques stole her glasses.  It was a pretty astonishing set of events that taught me primates are speedy, crafty, and have much sharper teeth than one would suspect.

a clever person would make punny joke employing the ol' 'macaque-sounds-like-my-cock' idea.

Even taking down one of those bad boys would be a stroke of luck.  40lbs of muscle and attitude.
