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

    Saw this on another forum, thought it was funny/kind of interesting.



    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 Americans.
    - 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'm thinking like 9-10? I was wrestling with my little 5 year old cousin earlier today and I can't imagine it being real hard to take him on and 8 of his friends in a fight. A good hard kick in the face would do 'em in, wouldn't it? I guess if they all started clinging to your ankles it would be kinda hard to move, then they'd pile on top of you or something.

    Sorry if you find this a little sick. If it helps you, imagine they're little 5 year old zombies who want your blood.

    For me, from what I have seen of my 6 year old nephew: I could take on less than one 5 year old.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,806 ✭✭✭✭KeithM89_old


    Id be happy with anymore than 10.
    but itd probably more like 2 :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,398 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    Do 2 normal 5 year olds equal 1 American 5year old?

    If a group of 5 year olds came at me I'd beat them off but nothing more than that.

    I don't know. It's kind of unnerving how you go into such detail regarding tactics, rules, and training.
    I think I could probably take on six? Is biting and gouging allowed?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,611 ✭✭✭david75


    nose miners :) brilliant :)

    I reckon a couple of 5 year olds might outsmart you. ;)

    when I was 11 in 6th class me and my friend decided to take on the 5th class at lunch break. we were holding our own against about 8 until the infant class joined to help the 5th class - nasty little f*ckers bite.

    seriously though i saw this and thought it had afterhours written all over it..hope its not offensive..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,080 ✭✭✭foxinsox


    If you have ever spent more than an hour with one 5 year old you would easily be able to answer this question...

    You haven't a chance... :D

    and that's just with one, let alone a room full of 5 year olds...

    Ive got a few mates who teach primary low and high babies and i dont know how they do it. like, there's 30 of them! and you!
    they all say boys are way easier to handle than girls by the way.which ye wouldnt imagine to be the case but its true apparently.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,584 ✭✭✭PCPhoto


    I reckon I'd have a decent shot at taking a fair amount of them on .... just start with the smallest pick him/her up by the feet and twirl yourself around or throw him/her at groups of other little kids.

    couple of chuck norris round house kicks .... the tactic would be to try keep them at a distance - if you allow too many to get too close...you're done for !!

    edit: I got 15...

    18 five year olds
    24 ninty year olds

    In conclusion, a 5 year old is stronger than a 90 year old.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,814 ✭✭✭TPD


    I could take on 30 5 year olds apparently. That's the kind of knowledge that may save my life one day.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 856 ✭✭✭Carl Sagan


    Around 10-15? I'd pick one up and comically throw him at the others. I reckon that'd work a few times.

    According to that site I'd get 21.
