I'm learning C++ at the moment. I'm just toying around building things, experimenting with code and such. Right now I'm trying to make something that can calculate your chance of surviving a zombie outbreak. I currently have 3 variables (weight, age, speed) and am just trying to figure out a good formula for computing a chance(no greater than 100 or less than 0) of surviving. Here is the unfinished code I have:
using namespace std;
int main() {
//declare variables
int weight, speed, age;
//prompt for weight
cout <<"Hello! if you would like me to calculate your chance of surviving a zombie outbreak please input your weight";
cin >> weight;
//make an auto fail for too much weight
if(weight>250)
cout <<"You have no chance of surviving";
//prompt for speed variable
cout << "Please input your speed in MPH";
cin >> speed;
//make an auto fail for to low of speed and to much weight(different than auto fail weight)
if(speed<10 && weight>200)
cout <<"You won't survive.";
//prompt age
cout <<"Please input your age";
cin>>age;
//make an auto fail for age
if(age>65)
cout<<"I doubt you will survive";
cout << "Here is your chance of surviving a zombie outbreak!"; //this is where the formula comes in
return 0;
}
Suggestions are appreciated. This is unfinished, which is why I haven't printed the chance which is why I want a good formula.Keep in mind I am just learning it and don't know, so if you can teach me something new that would be nice. Also copying and pasting the code kinda messed with the format of it so it doesn't look very pretty.

This is my first post, I'd like to learn C++ too. Here is a
formula you could use, but this assumes that all three factors
are equal. This assumes 30 to be the upper limit of speed, and
20 to be the *best* age. I know this reply is very late, sorry.
Survival % = 66.6 + (speed - (0.017(age-20)^2+33.3) -
weight*8.25)
Needs a bit of tweaking, as it's really harsh.
