Completely off topic (but amusing) question found

[chris blanc]

I found this very funny. I reckon if they all swarmed at once I could take about 15 - 20 before getting tired lol

 

 

 

 

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.

- 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 children.

- 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.

Sounds like a typical day at the local primary school... in fact, is this an advert to become a teacher...!!??!!

the cup means i could probably (hopefully) take about 30. without it, not even one. OOOWWWWW!!!

If I were allowed to pick one of the kids up and use them as a weapon aginst the others as if they were a club or bat, I think I could do 50 no problem lol

i think i could probly get about 20 before the started to overpower me, although my 5 year nephew on his own is prety tough, they arnt as week as you think, so mayby a bit leess then 20?!?! thats a tough one

If they all swarm at once, I think we could be talking single digits.

 

If it's that creepy Gage Creed kid from Pet Sematary (not a spelling mistake), we'd be scuppered lol

[Blinkjim]

iyeah, one by one i could cope with bout 20, but if theres 5 or more coming at you at the same time, the only thing you can do is flail your arms around?

[chris blanc]

See now that's the problem, these tiny terrors have been taught the best way to take on one person so should all swarm at once. You'd be pounced on like a Toys R Us employee giving out free Pokemon!

I think the key to survival would have to be constant movement around the court. I mean if you allow them to back you into a corner , thats it, there gonna get you! but if your on the move taking a couple of them out as often as you can, you might just stand a chance against a large group.

[chris blanc]

Yeah maybe.

 

If you could run around the midget maruders and pick them off one at a time you may stand a chance. Until you get knackered (in my case about 5 mins lol)
