Test of Force
Challenge Rules: Knock mobs into the lava. Some mobs give more points than others. Avoid negative point mobs!

The player spawns on a platform, where zombies spawn. The zombies do not damage the player. The aim of the challenge is for the player to hit as many zombies into the lava, without hitting negative point mobs. Zombies with iron helmets reward the player 10 points, zombies with gold helmets reward the player with 20 points, and baby zombies with diamond helmets reward the player with 30 points. The zombies also display how many points they give above their heads. Hitting a negative point zombie will subtract the points it removes from the player's current score.
