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

    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'd take 10 of the little bástards!

    I'd try 15 or maybe 20. But I wouldnt go in without wearing a cup.

    It is wrong that I wouldnt mind trying this out?

    It's an age old question. I find it hard enough to manage them as it is. I suppose, if they start running around like crazy, two could be one too many.

    A little change from last time round, where we all pondered the balls and sheer determination of a five year old witnessing his friends head being ripped from his shoulders, blood spurting from his brain stem, limp lifeless body sprawled on the tarmac as you step on the rib cage, compressing the heart to make the blood ooze out a bit faster...

    How are we all today? :D

    FFS! what kinda guy would have the heart to knock a 5 year old unconcious? I mean, is this Georgie Porgies idea of setting up the next generation for Iraq?

    Snap out of it man, its you or them. This isn't woodstock, its war.

    You are all mad. My twenty month has the potential to cause some serious damage. Children are vicious, i'd say I could probably take on three, but any more than that and you could be in danger.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,082 ✭✭✭Nukem


    Eh! bring'um all on they'll trying.

    lol

    i'd say 20, charge the biggest, grab him by the foot and use him as a club to batter the rest senseless, i've seen a friend of mine, 6'4" being mobbed by ten year olds, to be fair he wasn't allowed hit them, but 6 of them were enough to drag my mate down...

    tbh though, i'd probably try and sneak in a shiv or something... stab'em in the eye that's what i say...

    A full force punch or kick to the head of a twenty month old from an adult will more than likely kill them instantly, a full force kick to the head of a five year old will kill them too more than likely.
    If you could only manage to take on 3 five year olds you're a wuss.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 583 ✭✭✭stuey


    as a man who has experienced being ganged up on by many a five year old (well kids very close to that age) i have found out that a) the feckers are fast b) in numbers they are lethal c) 5 of them is enough to leave a 19 yr old 6ft 4 chap battered and bruised d) they do not know yet that u dont hit a fellow man in the balls

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,659 ✭✭✭Shabadu


    Seriously- they're faster than you. If they'd been all trained to dodge as per the original post they'd make a formidable foe en masse.

    I've gotten a full force open handed whack from my son that made my ears ring and slightly stunned me.*


    *the dinner I provided was deemed unsatisfactory


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,316 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    Breaking limbs, necks, stomping on their heads, I'd say I'd be able to kill 30, if I'm in the mood (no online gaming for 2 weeks). Otherwise, 13.

    =-=

    5 year old being trained. Trained to fight? THEY'RE F*CKING 5! They can learn to do adding, and subtraction. They are proberly weened on WWE on TV, but WWE will show them one thing; the big 6 foot 6" always wins against the little people.

    Also, I'd doubt half of them paid any attention.

    As stated in the rules, we are provided with a cup, its all gravy baby! :D

    no one gave me a cup!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,850 ✭✭✭Cianos


    I'm not gettin involved in this debate (1,000,000 5 year olds easily), but just wanted to say the 2+2 forums are deadly, happy to see it referenced here :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,479 ✭✭✭Stalfos


    Easily a few thousand but after that i struggle a bit.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh


    This sounds like the sort of question you'd ask michael jackson.
