Well, how many?

**worldtraveln** · 05-11-2005, 10:16 AM

The question: How many 5 year-olds could you take on at once?

The specifics:

- You are in an enclosed area, roughly the size of a basketball court. There are no foreign objects permitted.
- You are not allowed to touch a wall.
- When you are knocked unconscious, you lose. When they are all knocked unconscious, they lose. Once a kid is knocked unconscious, that kid is "out."
- I (or someone else intent on seeing to it you fail) get to choose the kids from a pool that is twice the size of your magic number. The pool will be 50/50 in terms of gender and will have no discernable abnormalities in terms of demographics, other than they are all healthy kids.
- The kids receive one day of training from hand-to-hand combat experts who will train them specifically to team up to take down one adult. You will receive one hour of "counter-tactics" training.
- There is no protective padding for any combatant other than the standard-issue cup.
* The kids are motivated enough to not get scared, regardless of the bloodshed. Even the very last one will give it his/her best to take you down.

I set my magic number at about 50 to 60, though that could be a gross under-(or over) estimate...

Others?

BTW don't take this to seriously. I'm not really going to go beat up 5 year olds.

**worldtraveln** · 05-11-2005, 10:33 AM

Saw it somewhere else and it got some quite hilarious responses.

**Jantzen4k** · 05-11-2005, 11:30 AM

**taiboxa** · 05-12-2005, 11:17 AM

You're forgetting about cumlative fatigue. Sure, the first 50 or so might be easy but after that you are going to get tired and lsow down. Then they are just going to swarm you.

**Dave321** · 05-12-2005, 11:54 AM

easy 200, and one school girl too... kicks, knee's, headbutts all around

exactly thats why i said 200.. i figured my shoulders would get tired after that.

I'm thinking 20...the kids here are bad-ass....hyped up on cheetos and other dyed junk-food...they'd kick my ass

**Deezuhl** · 05-13-2005, 10:58 AM

reminded me of a michael jackson joke when i read this...

whats the best thing about 29 year olds??

there is 20 of them!!!!

**Mesomorphyl** · 05-13-2005, 11:01 AM

Sad thing is a punch from an adult, or at least someone that lifts and is agressive, would probably kill a 5 year old. So if you just started punching them in the face it would break their little necks. So if you could keep them off you beating them down would take all day and the number could even exceed 200. Plus motivation from bloodsheed would be one thing but flinging dead bodies into groups to give yourself time to kill more would definately be detrimental to their motivation.

i'm sorry but this is just sick..... hypothetical or not its still sick...

Yes it is...

By the way I have been thinking... The shear mass and momentum of a number of kids would overwhelm a person, even given the ferosity of a counter attack... 50-60 and actually take them is probably a more real number.

**HeavyHitter** · 05-13-2005, 11:46 AM

my alcoholic a$$ would honestly last 15minutes..... this is basically sheer sparring practice.... however long your stamina is, is how many you can take. So, how many lil ones could i take out in 15 min is the question. (maybe 10 minutes.... hahahaha its friday and happy hour starts soon!!)

**selwan** · 05-13-2005, 11:51 AM

It is horrible to think about it..

BUt it would be Like the matrix when Neo takes on about 4 million 'Smiths' then flies off

**taiboxa** · 05-13-2005, 12:05 PM

rules state no outside weapons.. what if i used one of the kids as a club?

That is what I was talking about, but when you bend down to pick one up... There will be about a dozen jumping on your back, taking out your legs... then what?
