Epic fail on the poll construction. 

I chose all 4 options.

And there's no option for "Fistful's fault everyone has muddy clothes."

For the tankers, epic win.

For the crowds, their depth perception is epic fail.

I am reluctant to use the adjective "epic" when discussing the response above.  "Pitiful" does come to mind, but seems not quite right.

All options are equally valid, no?  Or are you saying that some options are more valid than other options?

There was no option for "fisful's fault everyone has muddy clothes", just as there was no option for "fistful's fault tank driver cannot see where the tank is going" because being fistful's fault is not an option, it is an axiom.  There is no choice involved - it happens whether you choose it or not.

stay safe.

Epic win if your goal was to cover a crowd in mud.
