How Many 5-Year-Olds Could You Take in a Fight?

[Maurice Clarett]

This may be a little morbid, but also funny.

============================================

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 pretty sure I could take 15. I don't know if biting is allowed, that might make it tough. Otherwise, I'm pretty big and pretty tough. If I get a clear shot, I bet I could knock most out w/ one punch.

Once I read the part about me being allowed to wear a cup, I'd definitely have to say atleast 20. I mean only so many of them could get a hold of you at a time, and I bet I could take out each of them with a kick to the face.

5 year olds really aren't that big. Especially 5 year old girls.

Since my upper torso is always free, i'm imagine somehow I'd beat the crap out of 50 or more. I can't imagine losing to any number of them

Eventually I'd get tired of kicking them in the head though, but I bet I could keep it up for hours.

How many five-year-olds can you fit on a basketball court? I could probably take on the number that you could fit in the paint... maybe the three point line.

All I can think about is Kramer beating up all those kids in karate class

 

[Maurice Clarett]

A couple of you guys are full of shit.

 

[jwinslow]

not nearly as many as the amount of midgets a lion can take on.

my two four yer old constantly kick the crap out of me.... just ask Nuh-Tee, he knows.

This isn't a little morbid. Its a lot disturbing. But I'll play along.

Line them up. We're talking about five yearolds. They weigh what, 35 lbs? You grab the first one by the ankles and swing him like a hammer. And it can go all day.

I think maybe you overestimate the ability (or attention span) of 5-year-olds to pick up anything from a 1-day course in hand-to-hand combat.

It's Ka-da-te, Amish! Ka-da-te!

That's what I was thinking. I could probably take on 50-100 of them, but they would wear me down within a couple minutes. Luckily Neo doesn't get tired. I'm big enough that I could probably take most of them out with one good shot, and I could probably use some of the skinny ones to throw at or hit the others. The only thing I was worried about was the cup, but shins might be an issue as well. Perhaps we need one of these to try it out.

 

[Captain Hindsight]

It all depends on how big they are, and if they're mentally sane. I could probably take on 100 five year old retarded kids (I know it's bad, but I speak the truth).

Now, see I think it would be more equal if it was WITHOUT a cup. Then I could say a well placed headbutt and one five year old would do it for ya guys.
