If you had duct tape, a tree, allergy medicine and a penny, how would you save the world from a giant-monster-like-thing trying to eat it? [you must use all the items] i would poor the allergy medicine into the roots of the tree. it would then develop super tree like powers and its branches would grow really long. i would climb the tree, use a branch to sling the penny into the monsters eye and then after he learned his lesson i would tape up his eye using the duct tape because i would feel bad for him...
