Important Zombie Questions

So im in a Zombie mood atm and need the following answered if im able to continue my escape plans:

*This is based on normal standard Zombies ie Dawn of the Dead, Walking Dead seem normal.... no specials or anything, just slow walkers that eat us*

Anyway;

1 - Zombie strength, everyone seems to have to tussle in hand to hand with a single zombie. Now what is their muscle strength like, is it as it would be OR are they given a bonus now they are the walking dead. Obviously pain in non existant so they can continue to come at you, where as if you took a slice to the leg you would be hampered... so whats the deal here?

2 - Swimming. If im being chased by a herd of Zombies, could I run into the sea/even swim out to sea and the Zombies would either a) follow me and drown or b) are clever enough to stop and wait at shore? OR can they swim and if so, does breathing become a factor for them?

3 - What senses do Zombies work off? Sight obviously, sound.... can they distinguish sounds, or are they just attracted to them? Smell... can they smell humans?

I think thats it atm, should give me enough to work with.

Im going to order that book.. however the swimming point, im assuming as you mention that they just walk into the sea without reprecussion.

However surely currents etc would stop them walking on the sea bed? Fish predators?

Will Zombies head towards light in the dark?

Assuming I can secure a building, if I had lights on at night would the zombies think.. ooh theres eatings in there?

Need to ask more questions:

1 - If Zombies were able to get to the roof of a tall building; would they fall off the edge when wondering around? Or are they savvy enough to avoid it?

This then makes me wonder why no one has invented a sort of huge funnel to guide the zombies toward an empty tall building/s to which they will walk up and then fall off and die from?

Im thinking of a question 2 atm

Thanks for all the replies though, im currently going through season one of the Walking Dead and noticed that some zombies used rocks to smash glass... they also couldnt smell the 2 that covered themselves in dead guts either... but it did look like they could see, id say that was a definate going back to the 1st episode when the cop sees that half a corpse and it looks round to try and chase him. And also that black woman who kept going back to her house...

When hell is full, the dead will walk the Earth.
