i think most 'fit' people, even those that don't work out, could do 30 pushups. 5 full-extension pullups would basically require being really skinny or lifting.

I strongly disagree with this...I've never been able to do 30 pushups but I've been able to do over 10 full extension pullups with my palms facing out and way more with my palms facing in. I also could do a ton of situps....I've pretty much never been able to do many pushups...it may have something to do with my very loose ligaments but whatever, my joints just crack and snap and pop and I have to give up at about 20.
