Title: Humans vs. Zombies: How long will it take for the Zombies to win the game?

Abstract: Humans vs. Zombies is a game played across college campuses, mostly in the US (https://humansvszombies.org/). In this version of Humans vs. Zombies, zombies are only allowed to transform humans into zombies if there are no other humans in sight (i.e., if there is only one human within the zombie’s surrounding eye-sight).  We begin the game with as few zombies as possible. The zombies win the game if all humans are transformed. How many zombies do we need at the start of the game to warrant a win for the zombies? How long will it take for Zombies to win the game?
