* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
Alice throws the laptop out the window, and it survives. Frustrated, she throws it at a rock, and it breaks into pieces. All the internals still work and the laptop is glued back together, unsightly but functional... Until Alice hits it against a light post, forcing the laptop's hard drive to be moved into another machine, where it works just fine.
* '''Averted''': ???'''Averted''':
** No attempt to destroy anything is made
** Every attempt at destruction succeeds.



* '''Exploited''': ???
