100 People -vs- A Bear

Hanley

One above average ragged off girssly bear.

100 people, they can be anyone you like (REAL people).

No weapons.

Combat zone = a football field.

Who would win and why?

Wreck

Well if 42 midgets versus a lion is any to go by, the bear will win. Either way, I'm supporting the bear.

bitemybanger

I can imagine that the 100 people would be at one end and the bear at the other, who would try to overcome a bear with no weapons anyway? bit of a pointless thread realy

connundrum

I would have thought 30 people vs a bear may have been more of a fair fight. 100 people ftw!

If they were Irish people, they would simply bore the bear to death by going on about pointless threads which they've taken the time to respond to.

passive

Well... I dunno. It depends how united and determined the people were to win as a group, rather than to survive as individuals.

Thumb, eyeball, bear not so useful now... running kicks for a while... maybe kill one of the humans, tear off his arm, use jagged bones to skewer bears heart.

See, you guys just aren't imaginative enough. I'd say 20 of us could do it!

100 punches from 100 strong men and the bear would go down like a sack of shit. Also, there's nothing limiting the 100 strong men from just punching once. They can keep punching that motherfucking bear till it screams. There might be a few casualties, but they will be remembered as heroes, apart from the bear.

If it was pedobear and 100 schoolgirls, no one would win, humanity would just lose badly.

extraflavour

definitly 100 people, if they stood and fought, the bear would get too tired! but if the people all shat themselves and scrambled..as humans tend to do..then theyr screwed

Celticfire

Grizzly bears reach weights of 180–680 kilograms (400–1,500 pounds) and stand 2.44 m (8 ft) tall on their hind legs.

In spite of their massive size, these bears can run at speeds of up to fifty-five kilometers per hour (thirty-five miles per hour).

I picture human bowling pins...........

Hahaha.

Those girls wouldn't stand a chance.

zuchum

Depending on the size of the arena ,i would confuse the bear by having everyone running around the perimeter,and then have a group of around 20 attacking him from behind...id say 100 people ftw but with 20 deaths

extraflavour

head on charge! thered be heavy losses but the bear would go down! and who cares about heavy losses? the end justifies the means

One hit from the bear above the shoulders will more than likely decapitate the strongest of your 100 strong men. There's nothing limiting the bear striking only once. 100 men cannot attack 1 bear at the same time, they'd just get in each others way. Line themselves up to get a fatal smack from the bear.

Bear ftw.

Hanley

Let me throw something else at you so...

Assuming all humans are self interested and nobody wants to die so the others can live, do you still fancy the humans chances??

As I said, there may be human casualties. However, with enough strong men throwing punches at the bear, the bear will die. You could easily crowd 10 men around a bear to get punches in, so assuming that the bear can kill a man with one swipe, that's 10 man punches on the bear, per man death. That's assuming that the bear can swipe and kill strong men as fast as strong men can punch a bear. That being said, a strong man would be probably able to get a few punches in before the bear swings again.

The bear will be dead from punches before 10 strong men die from swipes. None of the above takes in to consideration the dodge chance of the strong men or miss rate of the bear. I'd imagine a bear would be slow. This factor is less important for the strong men because the bear is big and it would be kind of hard to miss a punch on a big bear.

What if a bear swipe takes out multiple men?

Will the strongmen still continue to move up to attack the bear if they see their cohorts being killed?

Toto Wolfcastle

Is this not the same things as how many kids you could take on?

How many kids would it take to kill the bear ftw

Raspberry

Hanley wrote: »

That is unlikely, but in that case the strong men are probably still getting in more punches per bear swing anyway, so it wont matter. It will increase the number of casualties, however the strong men will still kill the bear.

Hanley wrote: »

Yeah. If they stop having lost one strong man, that strong man will have died in vain. They need to be victorious so their fallen comrades will be remembered as heroes.

How many kids would the bear kill and eat before dying from obesity more like.

I'd take it on my own. FACT.

MooseJam

The talk about strong men is daft, a strong man is only strong compared to another man, compared to an angry grissly he is just food. On the original question if everyone was just looking out for themselves I'd forsee a long drawn out slaughter, if they were up for it as a team and didn't care about dying I'd say the 100 would win but with a lot of casualties. I'd definately pay in to watch though

Jay P

Back in the day I dbe fightin bears as a warm up. But now I'd take one with 100 kangaroos

100 people? All we need is Ivan Dragov or whatever his name is, Chuck Norris, Vin Diesel, Hulk Hogan, Mr. T, Steven Seagal, Sylvester Stallone and some big fat guy as bait.

MooseJam

I think it's supposed to be 100 average people, chuck norris not allowed obviously

JC 2K3

If a good proportion of the people gave their lives and were ripped apart by the others, it might be possible to accumilate enough stomach acid to burn the bear to death.

Which brings up my next question....

100 Bears -vs- Chuck Norris, who wins??

MooseJam

Chuck Norris eats 100 bears for breakfast

Creature

Bear ftw. That's 8 ft and half a tonne of muscle and hair. I doubt it would even feel a punch or kick from the men. The only way I see the bear losing is if it collapses from exhaustion and the guys devour it alive. Or maybe while it's down they all tie their shoelaces together and use them as a garrote on it, assuming shoes are allowed of course.

Genghiz Cohen, not only is your signiture false ( you can pay for support with many distruibutions and there are some games that are multi platform) but it is also 50% bigger than is allowed in the signature rules. Not pleasant for those in dial-up land aka Ireland.

Go here and go about half way down the page to the "Thread display options" and untick the checkbox beside show signatures. That should help speed things up a bit for you. You can turn off avatars and images there too if you like.

Kold

Stupid thread... Bears can't play football. ESPECIALLY If you draft in the starting lineups of Barca, Milan, Chelsea, Man Utd and Real Madrid.

Humans 200 - Bear 0 (bear sent off after 2 mins for eating Christiano Ronaldo, later has ban lifted because C.Ronaldo is a c*nt)

Cianos

If the men knew it was to the death, either ALL of them or the bear, with a bit of coordination I think the men could do it. The men have the advantage of full circumference attack...The bear would be well disorientated from a barrage of punches and kicks to nearly every part of his body at the same time. He may be able to tear the men apart with one swish (I love that word), but he only really has one route of attack...he has to use one front foot to balance himself, while attacking with the other. I think the bear would be vulnerable if standing on his two back feet and would thus give the advantage to the men.

The men should probably go for hard kicks to the joints...a succession of kicks at the bears knee would probably tear away at the joint and if the bear breaks even one leg, he's probably fvcked.

Also, the men cannot attack all at the same time because there is not enough room. It could be 50 guys on, 50 guys resting. The bear can't rest, and would tire soon enough.

If you had 100 UFC guys, I'd say the men would win.

Mr. CooL ICE

If this tactic was used, the bear would surely win. But I honestly could say that 100 men would slaughter the bear. Have one large group distract him from the front, and one small group behind. If attacked from behind, his eyes could be poked out with human fingers. This act would surely result in death for the, uh, 'poker', but it knocks out the bears (possibly) most vital sense in a combat situation. Then proceed with the punches and kicks



And least I forget... Jebediah Springfield, anyone?

Lockstep

A bear is covered in all kinds of fat and fur to protect it.


If the 100 men knew exactly where to strike and were heavy hitters with no fear. Then MAYBE they'd have a chance.

But Hanley said people like us so I'd take that to mean the average joe in the street.

We;d have no chance, too unfit, doesn't know where to strike and would piss ourselves at the sight of a fully grown bear.

Steez

It's the whole "who do we sacrifice first?" argument yeah? I mean, someone's gotta distract the bear while the other 99 sneak around him and slap him up some.
While you could say the person selected for bait could distract the bear without being killed, it kind of ruins it. Plus the bear'd be totally distracted while it's tearing him/her to bits.

Either way, gimme a metal bar and I'll take a bear by myself. Sneak up on him when's he's asleep, and BAM! Followed by running like fun. Repeat several times until you finally manage to hit a vital point or injure him in such a way that he/she dies by falling off a cliff due to injured leg/arm whatnot.

Mr. CooL ICE

Grizzly v Mairt would also be interesting

smemon

100 people would win.

Get some to distract the bear, keep him running/alert, eventually tire him out and then start kicking him poking him with sticks etc..

Wait until he can't move, then move in and aim for the head, throw rocks etc..

Yeah, but Hanley wrestles bears before breakfast, and then does 20 squats with the carcass. He's the lad who really ate their porridge.

Only takes one man

Does the bear have a pair of Uzis?

5 people could kill a bear

1 one get mauled

meanwhile the other 4 poke its eyes and and get a leg hold around its neck kick it in the balls repeatedly.

ofc they'd have to be united for the common good, and couldn't be no poncy fairies

[edit] yeah the 5 people would have to be Sylvester Stallone from Rocky I, Stallone from Rocky II, Stallone from Rocky III, Stallone from Rocky IV, and Apollo Creed as bait. And if the bear isn't down before apollo is mauled to bits, and he starts to attack one of the Rocky's, you know they'll just have to break out the eye of the tiger and that bear is bollixed.

Steve.Pseudonym

I think that the bear would be afraid of the humans and run away.

Failing that... the humans would be a disorganised mess, and would be killed one by one until the bear choked to death on their bones.
