How did the cicadas decide that they would wait a prime number of year before emerging?
To think of cicadas as "deciding" something is anthropomorphizing; that is, using words that describe human attributions with things that don't really think as humans do. What probably happened is that those cicadas which happened to have a prime number cycle tended to avoid having predators match their periodic appearances and so increased relative to those that didn't, and as a consequence, got eaten. This is Natural Selection. Incidently, only Periodic cicadas have prime number cycles (17 or 13 years); there are also Annual cicadas which as their name implies, appear every year.
Would Selena Gomez ever go out with a 12year old?
Probably not because that would ruin her image if she went out with someone who has barely reached puberty.
Will cicadas drown during thunderstorms?
Cicadas are able to survive heavy rain and thunderstorms as they are equipped with special adaptations that allow them to cling onto surfaces and survive in wet conditions. While some may be washed away or submerged briefly, most cicadas will be able to hold on until the storm subsides.
What other theories have been put forward to explain why cicadas wait a prime number of years before emerging?
The periodic cicadas spend most of their lives as underground nymphs, only emerging after 13 or 17 years, most likely to reduce losses by satiating their predators.The evolutionary strategy used by cicadas of the genus Magicicada make use of prime numbers. These insects spend most of their lives as grubs underground. They only pupate and then emerge from their burrows after 7, 13 or 17 years, at which point they fly about, breed, and then die after a few weeks at most. The logic for this is believed to be that the prime number intervals between emergences make it very difficult for predators to evolve that could specialize as predators on Magicicadas. If Magicicadas appeared at a non-prime number intervals, say every 12 years, then predators appearing every 2, 3, 4, 6, or 12 years would be sure to meet them. Over a 200-year period, average predator populations during hypothetical outbreaks of 14- and 15-year cicadas would be up to 2% higher than during outbreaks of 13- and 17-year cicadas. Though small, this advantage appears to have been enough to drive natural selection in favor of a prime-numbered life-cycle for these insects.

The scientific or taxonomic name would be Magicicada septendecim.
Who would win an iguana or a wolf?
The wolf no doubt. Wolves are larger, more aggressive, they have large, sharp teeth and they are predators by nature. Iguanas are not predators; they are herbivores and thus do not have predatory instincts. The one advantage that the iguana would have in not being detected would be that it blends into its surroundings very well and is often undetected.
