Q2     Does your classmate smell funny?

If your classmate smells of strong perfume, cigarettes, deodorant, muscle liniment, armpits, wet dogs, fabric softener, extra strong mints (perhaps with an undertone of stale beer), petrol, vomit, very ripe cheese, or those horrible brightly coloured chewy things with extra strong artificial fruit flavouring, they are probably not a zombie, as these are all perfectly normal smells for a teenage person. If however they smell of rotting flesh and putrification then the chances are they are undead (or really, really lapse on the personal hygiene front). Of course, if they smell that bad you’d be pretty stupid to get too close to them anyway, but beware of sudden slavering lunges for softer, tastier parts of your body.

Unfortunately, the very newly undead do not yet smell of rotting flesh unless perhaps there is some stuck between their teeth. So, due caution.
